Last year back in October of 2022, Teeger made a controversial statement. While receiving the ‘Rising Star’ award at the Jewish Achiever Awards, he went on to say, “I’ve been awarded this award, and yes, I am now the rising star, but the true rising stars are the young soldiers in Israel.”

Following his speech a complaint was lodged against the teen star. But Cricket South Africa absolved him during their internal inquiry. “The inquiry, chaired by advocate Wim Trengove SC, found Teeger had not contravened clause 1.5.2 of CSA’s Rules and Code of Conduct that governs ‘unbecoming or detrimental conduct which could bring them, CSA or the game of cricket into disrepute’,” read the inquiry statement.
