Commentator lambasts Australian PM Scott MorrisonCricketer-turned-commentator Michael Slater, who is currently doing commentary in the IPL here, has launched a scathing attack on his country’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison for not allowing its citizens to return from COVID-19 hit India, calling the travel ban a “disgrace”. The government has made it clear that Australians who are engaged in the IPL will have to make their own arrangements. I had government permission to work on the IPL but I now have government neglect,” Slater tweeted. The decision was announced after a meeting of the National Cabinet last Friday and came into force from Monday. Aims to check spreadThe move aims at keeping the COVID-19 spread in check in Australia as India is facing a surge in cases.
