Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Friday relieved David Teeger of the SA under-19 captaincy ahead of the under-19 Cricket World Cup, citing security concerns.<\/p>\n

Teeger had been at the centre of a storm after comments he made in support of the Israel Defence Force when receiving the \u201cRising Star Award\u201d at the Jewish Achiever Awards were made public.CSA subsequently appointed advocate Wim Trengove to conduct an inquiry to determine whether Teeger had breached its code of conduct, which Trengove found wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n

However, CSA said it had since noted protests related to the conflict in Gaza may target Teeger.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a risk that (the protests) could result in conflict or even violence, including between rival groups of protestors,\u201d CSA said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCSA has a primary duty to safeguard the interests and safety of all those involved in the World Cup and must accordingly respect the expert advice of those responsible for the safety of participants and spectators. CSA has decided David should be relieved of the captaincy for the tournament. This is in the best interests of all the players, the SA U19 team and David himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid will remain an important and active member of the squad and we wish him and the team every success in the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new captain will be announced in due course.<\/p>\n

When receiving the \u201cRising Star Award\u201d last October, Teeger said: \u201cI\u2019ve been awarded this award, and yes, I am now the rising star, but the true rising stars are the young soldiers in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trengove found Teeger’s comments could \u201cnot be understood to imply his approval or even condonation of genocide or any other crime\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOthers might find his statements offensive,\u201d Trengove wrote in his findings.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they would understand the constitutional right to freedom of expression requires of us to be tolerant even of views we find offensive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SA under-19 team starts its World Cup campaign against the West Indies in Potchefstroom next Friday.<\/p>\n
