New Delhi: The IPL management appears to be extremely serious about not allowing the controversy involving Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth to escalate any further.
Umpire Amiesh Saheba, who was quoted in a regional newspaper as saying that Sreesanth was provoking Mumbai Indian players during the match was suspended for two games for his comments on S Sreesanth.
Saheba has been given 48 hours to reply to that notice and faces a two-match suspension.
Saheba, who was officiated the game, had said that Sreesanth had commented on the other players in the opposition team and the senior umpire on the field, Aleem Dar, had also been informed about the incident.
He went on to claim that the bowler was warned twice during the game. He also said that he was not asked by match referee Farokh Engineer to testify in the case.
The decision of the panel concluded that the attack from Harbhajan was 'unprovoked'.
