Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins has called for the date of Australia Day to be changed.
The Test captain said January 26 was the wrong date to celebrate Australia Day and urged the government to change it to a “more appropriate date”.
Cummins told a press conference in Brisbane on Tuesday for Cricket for Climate – which has installed solar panels at the National Cricket Center – that the Australia Day debate takes place every year.
‘My personal opinion is that I absolutely love Australia, it is by far the best country in the world. And I think we should have an Australia Day,” he explained.
“But I think we can probably find a more appropriate day to celebrate it… It means different things to different people.”
