David Teeger, a rising star on South Africa’s cricket scene, has been removed as the country’s Under-19 team captain on the eve of the world championship competition.
Cricket South Africa cited threats to Teeger, who is Jewish, and the team over Israel’s war against Hamas
...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...ahead of the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup, which South Africa is hosting.
"We have been advised that protests related to the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about

can be anticipated at the venues for the tournament. We have also been advised that they are likely to focus on... David Teeger," the organization said in a statement.
"CSA has decided that David should be relieved of the captaincy for the tournament," Cricket South Africa added. "This is in the best interests of all the players, the SA U19 team, and David himself," adding that there was a risk of "conflict or even violence."
The statement said he would remain an "important and active member" of the team.
Cricket South Africa had previously suspended Teeger while it investigated hate speech allegations against him after he expressed support for Israeli soldiers following October 7, when Hamas attacked Israel. It later cleared him to return to the team.
Strong anti-Israel sentiment in South Africa has been in the spotlight as the International Court of Justice hears genocide charges brought against Israel by the South African government.
Many pro-Paleostinian activists claim that Israel’s treatment of the Paleostinians is apartheid, a term originally referring to the bygone regime of racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa. About 50,000 Jews live in South Africa; many say they hope to emigrate, citing anti-Israel and antisemitic sentiment as well as other other challenges.
