Being the only (black) player on the team, it was quite disheartening to hear this from him. How many times had he been invited to dinner with those gentlemen. So in the year 2020, when Lungi Ngidi had appealed to the cricket world to stand against racism, in an interview given to the South African Broadcasting Cooperation, Makhaya Ntini had said- I was always alone at that time. No one knocked at my door for dinner. Teammates used to make plans in front of me, but did not include me in it. No one would come to sit with me in the breakfast room. We used to wear the same uniform and sing the same national anthem, but I had to overcome that period. I used to give my kit bag to the bus driver and then run towards the ground. I had to do the same while coming back also.
