Why is Glenn McGrath not commentating on ABC Sport?

Australian fast bowling legend Glenn McGrath was axed from ABC Sport's radio Ashes coverage because of his links to a betting company.

McGrath has a contract with gambling organisation Bet365 - which contravenes the ABC's Conflict of Interest policy or External Work Guidelines.

This follows the same policy that saw Mitchell Johnson removed from ABC's broadcasts in 2022 for his contract with Bet Nation.
