The charges -- which can relate to harassment via phone or social media and stalking -- came after reports of a domestic violence incident on October 12. He has been granted conditional bail and is due to appear in court next month.

Slater occupied a position at the top of the Australian Test batting order for close to a decade, hitting 5,312 runs before his 2004 retirement.
