Former Australian Test: Former Australian Test opener Michael Slater has been stripped of his Cricket NSW life membership and Hall of Fame status following a series of domestic-violence offences.

The decision, confirmed at a Cricket NSW ordinary general meeting on Monday evening, follows months of internal deliberation triggered by Slater’s escalating legal troubles. According to Nine newspapers, members and delegates supported the motion to strip the ex-cricketer of the honours he had held for nearly a decade.

He was inducted into the Cricket NSW Hall of Fame in 2015, and the following year he was awarded Cricket NSW life membership. Slater submitted a written plea urging Cricket NSW to allow him to retain his life membership, but the organisation declined.
