South African Jews reacted with outrage on Friday after the country’s governing body for the sport of cricket stripped the Jewish captain of the U-19 national team of his role, citing the “risk of conflict or even violence” as the reason.

Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced that David Teeger, who is Jewish, would no longer captain the side just one week before the opening of the U-19 Cricket World Cup, when teams from 16 nations will compete in South Africa for the sport’s top prize.

In a statement released on Friday, CSA said that its security team had advised “that protests related to the war in Gaza can be anticipated at the venues for the tournament.”

It added that such protests would likely focus on Teeger — an observant Jew and resident of Johannesburg who made his professional cricket debut in 2023, scoring an impressive 51 runs for the South Africa Emerging Players side against North Cape. Teeger was only appointed to the captaincy of the U-19 team last month.

The targeting of Teeger could result “in conflict or even violence between rival groups of protestors,” CSA said. Invoking its “duty to safeguard the interests and safety of all those involved in the World Cup,” it said that Teeger had been “relieved of the captaincy … in the best interests of the players, the U-19 team, and David himself.” Teeger would “remain an important and active member of the team and we wish him and the team every success in the tournament,” CSA concluded.

CSA’s decision — against the background of rising antisemitism in South Africa, widespread support for Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 pogrom in Israel, and the charge of “genocide” brought by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) — provoked fury in South Africa’s Jewish community.

Prof. Karen Milner, chair of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD), told The Algemeiner that CSA’s decision was “an outrageous act of antisemitism.”

“There is no basis for this decision, other than the fact that Teeger is Jewish,” Milner said. “It is shameful that CSA is embarking on a path that is dangerously reminiscent of Nazi Germany, when Jews were actively discriminated against, including among sporting clubs.” She stressed that the SAJBD “would do everything in its power to fight against this vicious prejudice.”

In a separate statement, the South African Zionist Federation (SAZF) said it would be calling on the International Cricket Council (ICC), the sport’s global governing body, “to investigate the CSA’s blatant act of discrimination.”

“The ANC [ruling African National Congress] government’s political hostility to Israel and its friendship with Hamas has created a climate in which it is entirely acceptable to target a sportsman because he is proudly Jewish,” the SAZF stated.

Among those expressing sympathy for Teeger on social media was three-time MLB All-Star Kevin Youkilis. “Heart goes out to this young Jewish man,” Youkilis posted on X/Twitter. “The ‘security risk’ excuse is bullshit.”

Former Boston Red Sox star Youkilis also referred to a speech that Teeger made just weeks after the Hamas pogrom, delivered after he received the “Rising Star” Award at a Jewish community ceremony. Teeger paid tribute to the Israeli military, saying, “Yes, I’ve been [given] this award, and yes, I’m now the Rising Star, but the true rising stars are the young soldiers in Israel.” He went on to dedicate the award to “the State of Israel and every single soldier fighting so that we can live and thrive in the diaspora.”

Teeger was being “punished for showing gratitude to the State of Israel,” Youkilis commented.

Champions Trophy Could Be Shifted to South Africa Amid Concerns Over Security and Infrastructure

In a surprising development for cricket fans worldwide, the much-anticipated 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, originally set to be hosted in Pakistan, may be shifted to South Africa due to concerns about security, infrastructure, and logistics in the subcontinent. According to sources close to the International Cricket Council (ICC), discussions are underway as governing bodies weigh the feasibility of holding the tournament in Pakistan, a country still working to restore its reputation as a safe destination for international sports. This is the top news headlines India today!

Pakistan was awarded the hosting rights in 2021 as part of the ICC's commitment to expanding cricket to countries that had been largely sidelined due to safety concerns. The decision was seen as a significant boost for Pakistan's cricketing community, who have long sought to welcome international tournaments back to their home grounds. However, recent events have raised doubts about Pakistan's ability to manage a high-profile event of this scale. Issues such as regional political tensions and challenges in meeting the stringent security requirements set by the ICC have sparked debates within cricket's governing body.

South Africa, which last hosted a major ICC event in 2009 with the same Champions Trophy, has reportedly emerged as a strong alternative due to its well-established cricketing infrastructure, safety protocols, and experience in managing international tournaments. South Africa’s cricket venues, such as Newlands in Cape Town, Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, and Kingsmead in Durban, offer world-class facilities that could seamlessly accommodate the Champions Trophy if the shift occurs. These grounds have a proven record in both crowd management and hospitality, enhancing South Africa’s appeal as a potential host.

While no final decision has been made, an ICC spokesperson recently stated, “The safety of players, staff, and spectators is our top priority. We are committed to ensuring a successful and secure event, wherever it may be held.”

The possible shift has drawn mixed reactions from the cricketing community. Many Pakistani fans express disappointment, seeing this as a lost opportunity to restore international confidence in Pakistan's hosting capabilities. Others, however, recognize the importance of security and the challenges of ensuring a smooth, world-class event under present conditions.

The ICC is expected to announce its final decision in the coming months, leaving cricket fans eagerly awaiting updates. Should South Africa be confirmed as the new host, it would mark a significant change in the tournament’s trajectory and spotlight South Africa as a safe and vibrant home for international cricket.

West Indies Beat England By 4 Wickets In 5th T20; Clinch Series 3-2

West Indies Spinner Gudakesh Motie: The West Indies sealed their recent resurgence with a decisive four-wicket win over England in the fifth and final T20I, securing the five-match series 3-2. It was the third T20I series the Caribbean side have won on the trot following recent successes in 2023 against South Africa and India and holds them in good stead less than six months out from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 that they will co-host with the USA. Thursday's match was a low-scoring affair that saw the West Indies chase down England's total of 132 with just four balls remaining to ensure a 3-2 series win. Shai Hope's unbeaten 43 proved pivotal in securing the West Indies' victory, as the right-hander lofted Chris Woakes of England over point and into the stands, sealing the thrilling win. Hope's experience was vital during the chase as England picked up wickets at regular intervals to keep the pressure on the home side and it looked like the reigning T20 World Cup champions had a chance when Sam Curran removed the dangerous Andre Russell with the penultimate delivery of the 19th over. But Jason Holder (4*) and Hope held their nerve to ensure the vocal home crowd left the Brian Lara Cricket Academy venue with smiles on their faces. West Indies Spinner Gudakesh Motie was adjudged Player of the Match for his three wickets during England's innings, while English opener Phil Salt won the Player of the Series award for his two centuries and 331 runs. Earlier, asked to bat first, England was dismissed for 132. England's innings saw Jos Buttler departing early after scoring 11 runs, followed by Will Jacks and the crucial wicket of Phil Salt (38), both falling victim to the spin duo of Akeal Hosein and Motie. Even with brief challenges posed by Liam Livingston (28) and Moeen Ali (23), West Indies managed to dismiss England with just three balls to spare. Read the full article
