Slater had lashed out at the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison amid the travel ban as coronavirus continues to rage in India. However, Twitterati slammed the former Australian batsman for putting money before health amid the coronavirus pandemic.

After several such accusations, Slater clarified that he has not earned anything since he departed from India midway. He also urged everyone to not “abuse” him for his comments on the Australian PM’s decision of travel ban. Slate later challenged the PM for a debate also.

And did just read greed over common sense! Your government granted me permission to work so I can pay for 3 beautiful children through school and pay a mortgage. So where does common sense lie. Not on my end!
