‘All Lives Don’t Matter Until Black Lives Matter’- Faf du Plessis

Faf du Plessis, South Africa ‘s Test and T20I captain until February of this year, confessed to having “done it wrong before” as he, along with Dwaine Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen, Anrich Nortje and Marizanne Kapp, became the first members of the African White Cricket community in South Africa to publicly express their support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The movement later saw the joining of Lungi Ngidi and 32 former players and five current coaches of colour. “In the last couple of months I have realized that we must choose our battles,” said du Plessis.
