Hansen also blamed Andrew Symonds for provoking Harbhajan.

"Andrew Symonds approached Harbhajan Singh [Images] and told him that he had no friends amongst the Australians (he admits he used the word 'fcuk' or a derivation thereof). Singh used similar language to Symonds and neither took offence at that stage.

"However the exchange caused Singh to become angry and he motioned to Symonds to come towards him. Singh then said something to Symonds," the statement said.

It also adds that Harbhajan never used the word 'monkey' or 'big monkey'.
