(UTV|COLOMBO) – Former Australian cricketer Michael Slater has apologised after being removed from a flight for “disruptive” behaviour.
Slater said he had been arguing with two friends on Sunday while boarding the Qantas flight from Sydney to Wagga Wagga, a town in New South Wales.
The former cricketer, now a popular commentator, was asked to leave the plane before take-off, Qantas said.
Slater complied with the request, the airline added.
In a statement on Tuesday, Slater said: “I apologise for the inconvenience this caused other passengers on the flight.”
