Warner and Slater deny late-night brawl in Maldives

Warner and Slater got into a late-night physical altercation after a heated argument at the Taj Coral Resort where they are in quarantine.

Male: Star opener David Warner and cricketer-turned-commentator Michael Slater have denied reports of their involvement in a drunken bar brawl in Male, where Australian cricketers competing in the now-suspended IPL are waiting to board a flight home in a few days’ time.

According to the ‘Daily Telegraph’, Warner and Slater got into a late-night physical altercation after a heated argument at the Taj Coral Resort where they are in quarantine.

But Warner, who captained Sunrisers Hyderabad before being replaced by Kane Willaimson just before the suspension of IPL due to multiple Covid-19 cases inside the bio-bubble, and Slater, also a former Australia opener, said: “nothing happened”.

“There is absolutely nothing to the rumor mill Buzz. Davie and I are great mates and absolutely zero chance of (having) a fight,” Slater was quoted saying by foxsports.com.au.

Warner also said: “There has been no drama. 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 and Slater are in a group of 39 Australians, comprising players, coaches, and support staff, to have flown to the Maldives on Thursday on a charter flight organised and paid for by the BCCI.
