Harbhajan let off with reprimand

Mohali: Harbhajan Singh on Thursday 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, said that the bowler had been told that his action was "not in consonance with the code of the BCCI and the state association."
