Australian cricket great Michael Slater was arrested and charged in Sydney on Wednesday over domestic violence allegations. 


Slater, 51, now a well-known TV pundit, was arrested in connection with an alleged incident that occurred last week. New South Wales police confirmed they had visited a man, 51, at his home on Wednesday morning and taken him into custody.


He was charged with using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend and stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm”, police said. The charges—which can relate to harassment via phone or social media and stalking—came after reports of a domestic violence incident on October 12. 


Slater occupied a position at the top of the Australian Test batting order for close to a decade, hitting 5,312 runs before his 2004 retirement. He has been granted conditional bail and is due to appear in court next month.
