A row has erupted over a South African cricketer's pro-Israel comments, leading to a boycott announced by a Diadora executive in South Africa. The ICC has stayed clear of the controversy. However, Diadora has distanced its brand from the boycott. The decision to strip the young Jewish cricket player of the captaincy of the national under-19 team has been labeled as 'pure antisemitism' by the heads of South Africa's Jewish community.
