March 12, 2008 by Harbhajan Singh

The cricket board has asked off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to stop talking to the media on the just concluded tour of Australia where he was involved in the racism controversy.

Harbhajan was found guilty of using abusive remarks against Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds and was fined by the International Cricket Council-appointed judge John Hansen.

Harbhajan was called "a little obnoxious weed" by Mathew Hayden during the later part of the one-day tri-series for which the Aussie opener was reprimanded by Cricket Australia.

On his return to India, Harbhajan was quoted in the media as terming Hayden "a liar" and wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist "no saint", which he later denied.
