New Twist in the racism row in Australia. The harbhajan singh racism charge appeal is scheduled for tuesday.
The New Zealand judge who will hear Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh's appeal against his three-match ban for racism has said he may allow new evidence to presented at the hearing. And that new evidence is stump mic recording from the sydney test match.
"This will be a re-hearing with evidence given by all of the witnesses who gave evidence to the adjudicator Mr Procter," Hansen said in a statement.
"There may also be some additional evidence such as the transcript and video available from the stump cam that was not available to Mr Procter."
But the BCCi has come out strongly against this. Sharad Pawar in last few minutes has said that if the racism charge is not dropped, then the ODI series stands cancelled. Plus BCCI has refused any new evidence from being introduced in the hearing.
"The evidence could be tampered, it could be doctored. We wouldn't allow this so-called fresh evidence to surface after so many days," a highly placed Indian board official said.
Looks like there is gonna be some good off the field drama tomorrow. Brace yourselves
