NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday made it clear that it will not interfere in the row involving Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth, saying it was for the BCCI to take appropriate action on the matter.
The ICC said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) was a domestic tournament organist by the BCCI and it was the supreme authority.
"The IPL is BCCI's domestic tournament and it is the supreme authority to take appropriate action in this regard," an ICC spokesman told PTI over phone from Dubai.
Harbhajan, who is captaining the Mumbai Indians team in the absence of an injured Sachin Tendulkar, allegedly slapped King XI Punjab's S Sreesanth after a match in Mohali.
Harbhajan has been served with a show cause notice by the BCCI asking why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for his conduct. He has been given time till Monday to respond to the notice
Both Harbhajan and Sreesanth tried to downplay the incident. The off-spinner said the issue has been "sorted out" and the pacer remarked that Harbhajan is like his "elder brother".
