Michael Slater, an Australian cricketer turned commentator has been arrested after domestic violence allegations were charged against him last week. His most recent commentating gig was IPL 2021. Slater represented the Kangaroos in 74 test matches, smashing 14 centuries during his stint. The right-handed opener was often violent in his ways of scoring runs but none had expected this would be the case in real life as well.

The New South Wales Police approached him at his residence in Sydney just today. A thorough investigation followed, which eventually resulted in Slater getting arrested for an “alleged” case of domestic violence. The incident seems to have occurred on October 12. “Officers attached to the Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command commenced an investigation yesterday [on Tuesday] after receiving reports of a domestic violence incident alleged to have occurred on Tuesday 12 October 2021,” New South Wales Police quoted in an official statement.

“Following inquiries, detectives attended a home at Manly about 9.20 AM and spoke with a 51-year-old man. He has since been arrested and taken to manly police station,“ they added.

Michael Slater’s history with controversies

Intriguing is the fact that this isn’t the first time Michael Slater has been caught in a questionable activity. Born in NSW, Slater seems to be a loud-mouth of sorts and this behavior of his has often landed him in controversies. He was one of the English commentators for the first leg of IPL 2021 and had termed the Australian government a “disgrace” after they laid a 14-days-prohibition on any Aussie’s entry from India, although there was a good reason for it as India was having a COVID-19 outbreak at that time.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison was also on receiving end of Slater’s criticism owing the same reason. “If our government cared for the safety of Aussies, they would allow us to get home. It’s a disgrace!! Blood on your hands PM. How dare you treat us like this?,” Slater was quoted saying. He believed that since the government had allowed all the Australians to go and participate in the IPL, it was their responsibility to allow them back in after it was concluded. No matter the circumstances.

Slater was also commentating on the Big Bash League for Channel 7, but that was until two weeks ago when Channel Seven parted ways with him. The Australia-based media network has cited ‘financial reasons’ for the end of their association, but it is believed that all of this is an aftermath of Slater taking digs at the government and Scott Morrison.

New South Wales Police have confirmed that the “alleged” incident happened about a week ago, but no official charges have been laid. With that being said, Slater still remains in police custody and is yet to issue any statement on his arrest.
