'Another controversy could end Harbhajan's career'

MELBOURNE: Indian Premier League (IPL) governing board member IS Bindra has cautioned off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to watch his on-field behaviour after the slapping row with S Sree Santh 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," he added.

Harbhajan was banned from this edition of IPL for slapping Sree Santh and Bindra said he has been left deeply disappointed by the off-spinner considering that 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 Australia, I told him he needed to be all the more careful because ‘you are under watch, you are under probation’," he recalled.

"He has had problems on a couple of occasions in the past। He was warned by the association that if he doesn’t listen to the advice then next is a hard knock on his knuckles," he added.
