Former Australian Test cricketer Stuart MacGill has been slapped with apprehended domestic violence order (ADVO) by his girlfriend Julie Singleton.

He may appear in a Sydney court this week after Ms Singleton sought ADVO on 26th December 2016.

The order issued to MacGill means he cannot approach Ms Singleton, cannot contact her directly and must stay 100 metres away from her, her home and office. He can only contact her through her lawyer.

The standard orders also apply, which prohibit MacGill from assaulting or threatening Ms Singleton, or damaging her property.

The former leg-spinner who has played for the Australian cricket team for a decade and retired in 2008 after playing 44 tests, is likely to appear in court on Thursday where police will apply for orders on Ms Singleton’s behalf.

Ms Singleton is a lawyer in Syndey and has often appeared on national television and radio to talk about family law and divorce.
