Former Australian cricketer has life membership, Hall of Fame status revoked after domestic violence offences

Former Australian cricket star Michael Slater has been removed from the Cricket NSW Hall of Fame and had his life membership revoked after domestic violence offences.

As reported by Fox Cricket earlier this year, Slater’s status was to be reviewed by the state body following a series of incidents.

They included pleading guilty to seven charges for a series of domestic violence offences that related to a woman in the Noosa region between December 2023 and March 2024, including two counts of choking, stalking, assault, and burglary, for which he received a suspended four-year prison sentence.

Slater, who represented Australia in 74 Tests and 42 ODIs from 1993 to 2001, was also convicted in 2022 of domestic violence offences. Five women in NSW have taken out protection orders against him since 2016.

On Monday night Slater was voted out by members and delegates at a Cricket NSW ordinary general meeting, according to Nine papers.

Slater had made a written submission arguing he should keep his life membership.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015 and given life membership in 2016, after a long career both on and off the field, moving into broadcasting after retirement, most recently with Seven.

His contract was not extended with the network in 2021. (Fox Cricket)
