On Friday, the first test match begins between Sri Lanka and Australia in Hobart and there's been controversy before it has even begun.

Audio: Should Australia boycott Sri Lankan cricket team over alleged rights abuses
 

Critics of Sri Lanka's human rights record are calling for a boycott of tour of Australia, specifically saying the famous Boxing Day Test will be an prime chance to protest.

The call is coming from two groups - the Tamil Refugee Council and the Refugee Action Collective in Victoria - and will no doubt raise some heat for Australia's Foreign Minister Bob Carr, who heads to Sri Lanka later this week.

Not surprisingly, the boycott suggestion has attracted a strong reaction from the Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Australia, Thisara Samarasinghe.

Presenter: Liam Cochrane

Speakers: Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, Sri Lankan High Commissioner to Australia; Trevor Grant, refugee advocate with the Refugee Action Collective and former chief cricket writer for The Age newspaper
