Australian cricketer and Muruwari woman Ashleigh Gardner has lashed Cricket Australia’s decision to schedule a women’s T20 international on 26 January

‘Doesn’t sit well with me,’ says Indigenous all-rounder

The Australian team will perform a barefoot ceremony before the match and wear a special Indigenous-themed jersey in a bid to celebrate Australia’s First people. CA is expected to confirm further details later on Sunday. Gardner said she would use her profile as a professional cricketer to educate others as to the connotations of the day.

they pack events on Oz day to get more ad$$ Even Tennis Aust is packing events so tightly Andy Murray had to play tennis till 4am Just a farce They get TV sponsors Give them days off

She is entiteled to her small minded opinion,which basically promotes a backword, negative thought proccess. Oh poor poor pitiful me? How about you and your bretheran stop blaming others for your imagined problems?CA didnt call the game Australia Day

She can make herself unavailable for that fixture, if it means so much to her.

Technically it should be on the 1st Jan (federation day) or March when the first election was held.

More people not working,,,,greater ad revenue prospects!

Everyone knows that the Jan 26 is where everyone gets the day off to watch the cricket Pretending it is celebrating genocide is so disingenuous, anyone who is being even partially honest knows they're lying. It is fake outrage, and it is beyond stupid.

Ash Gardner is absolutely correct that 26 January represents a day of “genocide, massacres and dispossession.” It also represents the foundation of the colony of NSW to which WA was never a part. It's well past time to change the date of Australia Day.

How coming to Australia revived these Afghan women's dreams of playing cricket againMost of the women who should be playing cricket for Afghanistan have resettled in Australia since the Taliban took over the country, but they are disappointed by a lack of support from the International Cricket Council. Cricket? Well if that's what they want to do i guess. Well done to them - really hope they all get to play competitively again. Can’t see how the ICC though can allow Afghanistan to retain full membership when they have acted so abhorrently towards their female cricketers Yet they still cover their hair to keep Muslim men happy . The irony .
