Cricket NSW Revokes Michael Slater’s Life Membership and Hall of Fame Over Domestic-Violence Offences

Members at an ordinary general meeting endorsed a board motion following his April sentencing in Queensland.

Overview

  • Members and delegates voted on Monday night to cancel Slater’s life membership, with reports indicating his Hall of Fame status had already been rescinded.
  • Slater was sentenced in April 2025 in Maroochydore District Court to four years’ imprisonment, partly suspended after more than a year spent in custody.
  • He pleaded guilty to multiple domestic-violence-related offences, including two counts of choking, assault, burglary and stalking on the Sunshine Coast.
  • Judge Glen Cash linked Slater’s offending to long-standing alcoholism during sentencing and warned that rehabilitation would be difficult.
  • Slater was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2015 and made a life member in 2016, and at least five women in NSW have obtained protection orders against him since 2016.
