Shadow Indigenous Australians minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has slammed Cricket Australia for its handling of Australia Day fixtures Australia will not play Test matches or any other form of cricket on the national public holiday next year Senator Price also challenged Cricket Australia by asking who was consulted before the decisions around the national day were made. Australia Day has become a divisive issue, with protestors launching a demonstration outside Brisbane's Gabba ground on January 26 this year Cricket fans across the nation won't be able to see any fixtures on Australia Day next year - but the sport's bosses say the decision has nothing to do with past controversies that have unfolded leading into January 26 'We determined January 27 was the best date for the BBL final this season as it would give as many fans as possible the chance to attend or watch one of Australian sport's great occasions,' a Cricket Australia spokesman told News Corp. 'We make our scheduling decisions based on the best interests of fans and do not rule out playing on any day in the future.'
