I may have worked in a Immigration Detention Centre in Leonora, WA for a month in 2012 which was populated by “Unaccompanied Minors”: people arriving by boat who were under 18 and weren’t travelling with their parents or anyone. The Afghani kids really stood out in cricket terms there - a few times a week with a couple of hours on an ash felt basketball court and also a weekend 30 over game at a local oval. Some really great all-rounder prospects. They were super competitive as evidenced in appeals to umps which sometimes went too far dissent wise.

The decision by the Woke Australian Test team was extremely hypocritical

Played in a World Cup with Afghanistan but refused to honour a previously arranged Test Match commitment

Cricket Australia's decision. Not the test team.
