Former Australian Test cricketer Michael Slater has been arrested over an alleged domestic violence incident.
NSW Police have confirmed a 51-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday at a home in Manly on Sydney's northern beaches.
He was taken to Manly Police Station and has not been charged.
Officers began investigating on Tuesday after receiving reports of an alleged domestic violence incident.
The opening batsman played in 74 Tests for Australia scoring 5312 runs at an average of 42.83 after making his debut during the 1993 Ashes tour of England.
He also played 42 one-day internationals scoring just under 1000 runs before retiring from major cricket in 2004.
Slater was recently dropped from Channel Seven's commentary team for the upcoming summer cricket season, with the network choosing not to renew his contract, citing budgetary pressures.
He had previously worked as a commentator and personality for more than a decade on the rival Nine Network.
In 2021, Slater travelled to India to commentate on the Indian Premier League competition and as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, made controversial comments criticising Australia's travel restrictions.
At one stage he claimed Prime Minister Scott Morrison had "blood on his hands" over his handling of the pandemic.
