Cricket Australia (CA) says scheduling a Twenty20 match on January 26 is an opportunity to continue an "ongoing education journey" with the Indigenous community, after all-rounder and Muruwari woman Ashleigh Gardner raised concerns about the fixture.
The second Indigenous woman to play Test cricket for Australia, Gardner said the day the first fleet arrived in Australia in 1788 was a "day of hurt and a day of mourning" for Indigenous Australians.
