The Democratic Alliance (DA) has called on Cricket South Africa (CSA) to reveal the security threats against 19-year-old David Teeger and reverse its decision to strip him of the national captaincy ahead of the U19 Cricket World Cup. The DA has challenged CSA to reverse the decision by Friday or face escalation of the matter to the SA Human Rights Commission. Teeger was initially named captain but was relieved of his leadership position following protests over his comments about the conflict in Israel and Gaza. The DA has submitted an application under the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to obtain the risk assessment report mentioned by Cricket SA. Despite being stripped of the captaincy, Teeger remains part of the squad. The opening match of the U19 Cricket World Cup takes place in Potchefstroom on Friday against the West Indies. CSA has been urged to reveal the basis of its decision and specifics about the threats received.
