Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Thursday was escaped any major disciplinary actions for his comments on Indian coach Greg Chappell as Punjab Cricket Association let him off with an advice ‘to exercise caution while talking to media’. The PCA had summoned the off-spinner for a hearing over the latter’s comments that Chappell’s strict regime had instilled fears and insecurity among members of the Indian team and that the Australian was using a divide and rule policy. PCA president I.S. Bindra, after the hearing by the administrative committee on Thursday afternoon, said that the bowler was told that his action was ‘not in consonance with the code of the BCCI and the state association’. The ‘Turbanator’ was given the reprieve apparently after he tendered an apology to the committee. Harbhajan told the committee “that in hindsight he has realised he should have avoided airing his views the way he did in public,” Bindra said. Harbhajan was not allowed to take questions from the large number of media persons present. A statement released by the PCA said, “Harbhajan appeared before the administrative committee of the PCA to explain what he actually meant to say in his statement on Sourav Ganguly’s captaincy and on coach Greg Chappell’s working”. The administrative committee has “decided to treat the matter as closed after Harbhajan has assured the PCA that he would never again do anything that would hurt him, the state association, the board and Indian cricket,” the PCA statement added. in-depth coverage > India in Zimbabwe 2005 > |
