Cricket New South Wales has stripped former Australia Test cricketer Michael Slater of his life membership and Hall of Fame status over a series of domestic-violence offences.<\/p>\n

Cricket NSW had been deliberating over the matter for months. It confirmed the decision after an ordinary general meeting on Monday evening. According to Nine<\/em> newspapers, members and delegates supported the motion to strip the ex-cricketer of the honours he had held for nearly a decade.<\/p>\n

Slater has faced multiple domestic violence cases in recent years. Since 2016, five women in New South Wales have secured protection orders against him.<\/p>\n

A Sydney court handed him a two-year community corrections order in 2022 after he admitted to several offences, including common assault and attempted stalking.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Slater pleaded guilty to seven domestic violence-related charges \u2014 among them two counts of choking a woman. The allegations spanned several incidents and included assault, strangulation, burglary, and stalking. He was sentenced to four years in prison with part of the term suspended, but was released after serving more than a year in custody due to a bail refusal in 2024.<\/p>\n

He was inducted into the Cricket NSW Hall of Fame in 2015 and the following year, awarded a Cricket NSW life membership. Local media said Slater submitted a written plea urging Cricket NSW to allow him to retain his life membership, but was declined.<\/p>\n

During his international career spanning 74 Tests and 42 ODIs from 1993 to 2001, he scored more than 5,000 runs, including 14 centuries and 21 fifties. After retiring in 2004, he transitioned into commentary, working with Channel 4 in the UK and later with Australia\u2019s Seven Network, which ended its association with him in 2021.<\/p>\n

Judge Cash delivered a blunt message to Slater during the trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obvious, Mr Slater, that you are an alcoholic,” Cash reportedly said to the Maroochydore District Court. \u201cYour rehabilitation will not be easy. Alcoholism is part of your make-up.”<\/p>\n
