The IPL on Monday banned temperamental Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh who had a lot of controversy during their recent tour of Australia especially with Matthew Hayden, for the rest of the Twenty20 tournament for slapping S Sreesanth after he pleaded guilty to the charge.

The 27-year-old player, who has a notorious reputation for trouble and frequently has on-field skirmishes, was handed down the punishment under which he would forfeit match fees from the third match onwards by Match Referee and adjudicator Farokh Engineer after a two-hour hearing.

S Sreesanth, who was at the receiving end of Harbhajan’s temper after Friday’s IPL match in Mohali, was also warned against aggressive on-field behaviour and told that his conduct would be taken seriously, IPL Commissioner and Chairman Lalit Modi told a press conference after the hearing in the presence of Engineer and the two players.

Elsewhere the arguments continue to rage in England with their players who all really deep down all want a part of the IPL with the massive incentives that are on offer who can blame them.

Giles Clarke the ECB chairman has warned international stars they are unlikely to gain clearance to play in the lucrative IPL because it could jeopardise their fitness. So watch this space has I am sure this argument is going to roll on with a few more twists and turns to come.
