Fox Sports presenter Megan Barnard has returned to TV screens almost a week after her former colleague Tom Morris was sacked for revealing her sexuality and making disgraceful remarks in a leaked video.
Barnard was seen at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup presenting Australia’s fixture against second-ranked South Africa at Basin Reserve in Wellington on Tuesday morning.
The 37-year-old introduced the game for TV viewers just before the toss and later gave updates and spoke to different cricketers throughout the match.

Barnard, who has worked for Fox Sports since 2013, has been one of Australia’s main sports presenters for women’s cricket. She also hosts and presents news about the NRL for the station.
Her former colleague Tom Morris was sacked last Friday after a leaked video surfaced where he revealed Barnard’s sexual orientation to a Whatsapp group on social media.
A Fox Sports internal investigation determined he ‘crossed a line’ when he referred to Barnard in extremely crude terms that Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to publish.
Morris, who was one of Fox’s leading AFL reporters, issued a grovelling apology for those comments, and also for a separate video in which he made disparaging comments about women, Asians, black people and homosexuals.
