The troubles of former Australian opener Michael Slater are not reducing. Let us tell you that today on 20 August, the bail plea of ​​the former cricketer has been rejected by the Brisbane Supreme Court. It is worth noting that Michael has been in custody for some time due to domestic violence, while when he sought release to attend a rehabilitation facility in New South Wales, his plea has been rejected.

Apart from being a brilliant cricketer, Michael Slater is also a well-known name in cricket commentary. Michael has played 74 Test matches for Australia from 1993 to 2001, in which he has scored more than 5 thousand runs. After the end of his cricket career, he made a name as a television commentator.

These allegations have been leveled against the cricketer

The former cricketer is accused of attacking and strangling a woman during an alleged violent assault that lasted several months. In addition, he allegedly sent hundreds of abusive messages to the victim. These serious allegations led to his arrest in April and subsequent refusal of bail.

However, when the cricketer’s legal team filed a petition for bail in the court, they clearly refused to grant it. Regarding the above issue, Michael Slater’s lawyer Barrister Greg McGuire said in a statement to NDTV-

There is a very real danger that by the time the matter is resolved he (Slater) will have spent a lot more time in custody. The proposed conditions are that he will go to a Sydney clinic until they are satisfied of his ability to go. He has now had to face the consequences of his behaviour and spend 4.5 months in custody.
