Australian commentator Michael Slater bashed the Australian PM Scott Morrison for not granting help to the Aussies for returning home in such a COVID pandemic crisis in India. Slater turned commentator after retiring from cricket is currently commentating the Vivo IPL 2021 in India. He brutally attacked PM Morrison by stating his travel ban a ”shame”. Australia has restricted all the international flights travelling from India to enter its border because of the hazardous COVID situation in India.
The administration has made it very clear that all the Australian cricketers and involved members have to look out for their own solution for the predicament.
“If our government cared for the safety of Aussies they would allow us to get home. It’s a disgrace!! Blood on your hand PM. How dare you treat us like this. How about you sort out the quarantine system. I had government permission to work on the IPL but I now have government neglect”, Slater tweeted.

And for those who think this is a money exercise. Well forget it. This is what I do for a living and I have not made a penny having left early. So please stop the abuse and think of the thousands dying in India each day. It's called empathy. If only our government had some!

The Australian government has imposed a five year jail or heavy penalty as a result if anyone disobeys the temporarily held law. The citizens of the country are prohibited to enter the country if they have been to India within 14 days of their arrival. The Ban will be uplifted on 15th May 2021.
So far two players from KKR (Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier) and three players from Chennai Super Kings including bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaj have tested. The recent incident has postponed the scheduled match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
