Sydney police have charged former Australian Test cricketer Michael Slater over an alleged domestic violence incident.
Slater, 51, was arrested in Manly this morning and charged with a stalking offence, as well as using a carriage service to harass.
The incident is alleged to have occurred on October 12.
Before retiring in 2001, Slater played in 74 Test matches and 42 One Day Internationals for Australia.
Since ending on his playing career, Slater had been a high-profile television commentator both in Australia and overseas.
However, earlier this month Channel 7 did not renew his contract, citing financial pressures.
In May, Slater attacked Prime Minister Scott Morrison in a series of social media posts that made headlines.
Slater took to Twitter to claim the PM had "blood on his hands", and complained the Commonwealth should be doing more to help Australians stranded in COVID-ravaged India.
He has been granted bail and is due to appear at Waverley Local Court on November 11.
