How to resolve - Provider org.slf4j.simple.SimpleServiceProvider not a subtype?

I changed dependency version for slf4j.simple from 1.6.0 to 2.0.0alpha1 and facing this error on running mvn clean install command -

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-alpha1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Stack trace -
