Australian Government's approach towards their own citizen turned cricketeres have been slammed openly by Cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Slater, who is currently doing commentary in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2021, Indian T-20 League)here in India. He has launched a scathing attack on Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison for not allowing their own citizens to return from COVID-19 hit India to their own country calling the travel ban a "disgrace".


Australia has shut its borders and has not allowed any commercial flights from India because of the COVID-19 cases surging here has led to all the players, support staff and commentators, who might have wanted to leave the IPL in a fix.


The government has made it clear that Australians who are engaged in the IPL will have to make their own arrangements to return to country and if anyone beings covid with him or her they will be fined heavily beside 5 years imprisonment.

"If our Government cared for the safety of Aussies they would allow us to get home. It's a disgrace!! Blood on your hands PM. How dare you treat us like this. How about you sort out quarantine system. I had government permission to work on the IPL but I now have government neglect," Slater tweeted.
