Australian cricket legend Michael Slater has copped backlash for saying Scott Morrison has 'blood on his hands' over his ban on Aussies flying home from Covid-ravaged India.
Aussies stranded in India face fines of up to $65,000 or five years in jail if they fly home from India, where 300,000 new cases of Covid were recorded on Monday alone.
The former Test opening batsman, who was in India as a commentator for the Indian Premier League, managed to escape to the Maldives and now must wait the designated two weeks to return to Australia.
But Slater's criticism of the Prime Minister has been met with furor, with many Australians saying he and his teammates chose to travel to India on their own accord.
