WA Cricket Association boss Christina Matthews weighs in on international fixture woes this summer

WA Cricket Association boss Christina Matthews will join The West Live this morning after it was revealed Perth would miss out on international fixtures this summer.

Men’s international cricket will not be played in WA after Cricket Australia released the revised fixtures for India’s tour starting next month.

Western Australia’s hard border means Optus Stadium will not host any of the three one day internationals, three Twenty20s or four Test matches against India, with the SCG to host the majority of the limited-overs games.

Ms Matthews yesterday told The West Australian the decision by Cricket Australia to opt out of WA was “extremely disappointing”.

She did, however, reveal WACA was in advanced talks to host a Big Bash hub in January.

With just eight weeks until Christmas, Perth-based dietitian and member of the Dietitians Association of Australia Margaret Hayes will join host Jenna Clarke later on the show to explain how to lose eight kilograms ahead of the festive feasting.

The West Australian’s senior reporter Steve Butler will also join Clarke in the studio for his new segment Bold Predictions that invites the audience to speculate on the State's hot topics.

Later on the show, Sunrise Perth correspondent Matt Tinney will join host Clarke to update West Australian’s on the latest news headlines.

Then, after 9.15am, The West Australian's Ben O’Shea will be back on the podcast to share some quirky stories from across the State in his Wild West segment.

TUNE IN HERE AT 8.45AM.
