Michael Slater Removed From Hall of Fame
Cricket New South Wales has removed former Australian cricketer Michael Slater from its Hall of Fame and revoked his life membership. The decision follows his convictions related to domestic violence and several ongoing legal proceedings.
Slater, once a celebrated opening batsman for Australia, faced multiple court cases over domestic incidents. The governing body stated that the move was made to uphold the integrity and values of the sport, emphasizing that such actions are incompatible with cricket’s standards of conduct.
"Cricket New South Wales expects all Hall of Fame members to uphold the reputation and values of the game," the organization noted in a statement.
The decision has drawn attention across the cricket community, marking a rare instance where honorary recognition was withdrawn from a prominent former player.
