Controversy
In January 2024, David Teeger, The team's Jewish captain had been removed from captaincy by Cricket South Africa. Cricket South Africa stated that protests related to the Gaza war in the 2024 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, which hosted by South Africa, are likely to focus on Teeger, who had shown his support to Israel before.[5] The decision caused outrage from the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and accused Cricket South Africa of Antisemitism.[6]
