On Saturday, some news reports had claimed that. There was a fight between former Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper David Warner and Australian commentator Michael Slater at a bar in the Maldives. But Warner and Slater have now cleared the air, saying the rumour holds no water.
There is absolutely nothing to the rumor mill Buzz. Davie and I are great mates and absolutely zero chance of (having) a fight. Salter said by foxsports.com.au
“I don’t know where you get these things from. Unless you were here and have got concrete evidence you can’t write anything. Nothing happened,” Warner was saying by foxsports.com.au. Slater also dismissed the claims, and said, “There is absolutely nothing to the rumor mill Buzz. Davie and I are great mates and absolutely zero chance of (having) a fight.”
Earlier this week, Slater had lashed out at the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison amid the travel ban as coronavirus continues to rage in India.
Morrison had announced a ban on passenger flights from India till May 15. He also said that there would be no special privileges given to the Australian players in India.
