Warner and Slater deny late night pub brawl in Maldives

TIL Desk Sports/ Australia’s 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 t board a flight home in a few days’ time.

According to Reports, 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 rumour mill Buzz. Davie and I are great mates and absolutely zero chance of (having) a fight,” Slater said. 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.’
