Former Australian Cricketer Slater's Sentencing Shocks the World

Former Australia cricketer Michael Slater sentenced for domestic violence.

Former Australia cricketer Michael Slater, who played 74 Tests for the country between 1993 and 2001, has been handed a partly suspended four-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to multiple domestic violence charges. Despite this, the 55-year-old will be free as he has already served over a year in custody after being refused bail in 2024. During his eight-year Test career with Australia, Slater amassed more than 5,000 runs. He later became a commentator but faced various legal issues.
