The words Australia Day have been dropped from next Tuesday s Big Bash games, which will instead be referred to as January 26 .
Cricket Australia s First Nation s Advisory Committee recommended the governing body not refer to January 26 as Australia Day since it is a day of mourning for many Indigenous Australians - which CA agreed to.
Six teams, the Sydney Sixers, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars, Perth Scorchers, Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes, will play in the BBL on January 26 - but may still refer to the day as Australia Day if they please.
