Michael Slater Kicked Out Of Channel 7 Commentary Panel Due To Derogatory Tweets

By IANS News October 06, 2021 • 17:56 PM View: 1379

Former Australia cricketer Michael Slater has been dropped from the Channel 7 commentary panel ahead of the 2021/22 season. Slater has been on the commentary team since Channel 7 secured free-to-air broadcast rights in 2018 for a period of six years. The reason behind the non-renewal of Slater's contract has been budgetary constraints.

"He's a very talented broadcaster and he's been a ripping member of our team. It's more about financial management than anything else and we wish Michael the very best in the future, we really do," said Channel 7 Head of Sport, Lewis Martin in an interview to The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday.
