Melbourne: DLF-Indian Premier League (IPL) governing board member I.S. Bindra has cautioned off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to watch his on-field behaviour after the slapping row with Sreesanth as another spat with fellow players could spell the end of his career. “There is no question for any repetition, we cannot have tolerance of any repeat actions of this nature,” Bindra told The Herald. “Once punished for such an offence, a player cannot make the same indiscretion again. Bindra said he has been left deeply disappointed by Harbhajan considering he had been urged to control his temper after the racism row in Australia. “He has disappointed all of us. I personally warned him after Australian tour, I told him he needed to be all the more careful because ‘you are under watch, you are under probation’,” he recalled. Bindra said BCCI and IPL’s tough stance on the matter showed Indian cricket was not willing to take a lenient view of the misconduct by its players. “People have accused the board of being soft, but this shows we’re not trying to sweep things under the carpet,” he said. Bindra said it was unfair to compare the racism row in Australia with the slapping incident as Harbhajan’s conduct was different in both cases. — PTI
