Quintin de Kock made himself unavailable for selection shortly after Cricket South Africa issued a statement asking its players to take a knee ahead of their T20 World Cup matches to show solidarity in their stance against racism.
I fear we haven't heard the last of the de Kock issue. I won't be surprised if we don't see him in a Protea shirt again.

Dropped?
Quinton De Kock was dropped from the side because he didn't want to take the knee in support of Black Live Matters.

Support For CSA
I am entirely with CSA on this one. And it's a shame that a player like Quinton de Kock finds it so hard to understand & support this movement, if that is indeed the reason for his withdrawal. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/kBUdqJcoMl

Assumptions
Cricket South Africa issued a directive about taking the knee.
De Kock withdrew after that, citing personal reasons.
There is not, to my knowledge, a proved link between the two until 4.10 PM EST.
We can, of course, speculate, but let us not conclude based on guesswork.
