Aussies back out of Morocco

Saturday, May 31 2003

The Australian team announced that they are withdrawing from participating in the ODI tournament to take place in Morocco in August.

The reasons claimed are fatigue as well as safety speculations. Recent suicide bombings have helped to enforce this decision as well as the fact that Aussies have been in action for the better part of the last year, with a hectic cricket schedule.

They will contest Bangladesh in Cairns and Darwin in July-August however.
