Bhajji banned for five ODIs, to miss B'desh tour Press Trust Of India Mumbai, May 14, 2008 First Published: 16:04 IST(14/5/2008) Last Updated: 16:38 IST(14/5/2008) The Cricket Board has banned Harbhajan Singh for five one day internationals for slapping his India teammate S Sreesanth and warned the temperamental spinner of a life ban for any further misconduct on his part. A day after BCCI-appointed Commissioner Sudhir Nanavati submitted a 14-page report to the Board, the Disciplinary Committee, headed by president Sharad Pawar imposed the ban, which means that the beleaguered spinner will miss the forthcoming tri-series in Bangladesh and two matches of the Asia Cup in Pakistan. The 27-year-old spinner, who had already been banned from the ongoing Indian Premier League and fined a whopping Rs three crore match fee for the level 4 offence, was summoned by the Disciplinary Committee to hear his views on the incident which happened after an IPL match in Mohali on April 25. "The Committee accordingly decided to ban Harbhajan Singh for five one-day internationals, starting today and further observed that any further instance of misconduct will invoke a life-ban," the BCCI said in a statement after the committee's hearing. "The Committee invoked Rule 3.2.1 of the BCCI Regulations for Players, Team officials, Managers, Umpires and Administrators. Under this provision, the maximum punishment that can be meted out to a player is a ban up to a maximum of 5 ODIs and / or 3 Test matches," Pawar told reporters. He said a copy of the report was given to Harbhajan who was heard by the committee before taking a final decision on the quantum of punishment.
mhr123 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 hmmm.. not bad, bhajji will not be too annoyed with the decision while there were speculations of been banned for 1 yr.
Tapioca Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 5 ODI's...not that bad Not bad at all. Will miss a series against Bangladesh and one or two early matches in the Asia Cup (which are completely irrelevant to qualification to the next level).
Zakhmi Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Not that bad, but SS should also have been banned for 3 ODI's for making it cowardly infront of the spectators.
Dirty_South Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 5 ODI ???? Wat a Joke !Shud have been atleast 1-2 years.
Laaloo Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 5 ODI ???? Wat a Joke !Shud have been atleast 1-2 years. IPL is a domestic tournament though and bhajjis already losing 800k ouch
DomainK Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 What disturbs is that Sree got away with impunity. That slap was not entirely without provocation. Someone needs to teach that a$$h0le a lesson.
ludhianvi Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I was watching some news and Jadeja mentioned that there was an incident in the 80s where there was a tussle between the players in a domestic match and they got banned for a year. As for Harbhajan, he got a ban of 11 ipl + 5 odis, so total of 16 match ban. He also got a warning that he does something like this again, he'll get a life ban. He must be pleased that it was only 5 more odis when there were rumors of him getting more than a year's ban.
fineleg Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 He also got a warning that he does something like this again' date= he'll get a life ban. . Bhajji got off easy. I hope BCCI enforce the above statement if Bhajji repeats such nonsense.
riya Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 pathetic decision .Just 5 pyjama matches .The obnoxious weed should have been banned for atleast one year .However after that slap it looks like that Sree's nut head got rearrranged and is behaving like a normal human rather than a loony:two_thumbs_up:
Zakhmi Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 :icflove:What disturbs is that Sree got away with impunity. That slap was not entirely without provocation. Someone needs to teach that a$ a lesson.:icflove: wahi to...:(( SS is also 40-50% responsible for that episode...moreover, he brought disgrace to the concept of dressing room by weeping openly on the ground.

But look the guy is already losing 850K for a 6 week mickey mouse tourney. 3 crores. How much more do u want the guy to lose. And yes, this is a domestic tournament, not a international tourney just be thankful to BCCI that they actually banned him for international odis:two_thumbs_up:
