Match Referee Farooq Engineer Could be in Trouble: Modi

The IPL match referee Farooq Engineer could be in trouble and if he is found guilty, he will face the action by IPL, said the Commissioner and Chairman of IPL, Lalit Modi.

He could be halued up for conduct that went against his position as match referee. He would be asked to explain wearing some team's dress and cheering up some teams during the matches. As match referee, he should be neutral and not show his support to any specific teams.

Apart from the issue of Harbhajan & Sreesanth, and Warne & Ganguly, the major issue is the slow-over rate. The match referee has ben asked to look into this issue more closely, said Lalit Modi.

Harbhajan Slapped with 11 match Ban!

The match referre's inquiry into the slapping incident by Harbhajan has come to an end. Bhajji has pleaded guilty on the charges levied against him and match referee has slapped him back with 11 match IPL ban. Which means, he cannot play the remaining matches.

Though it is an enquiry by IPL match referee, BCCI will set up its own enquiry into the matter. It will completely dig out what happened on and off the field.

In addition to the 11 match ban, he has been fined 100% of his match fee. Lalchand Rajput has been fined 50% of his match fee for not controlling Harbhajan.

We have to see how Mumbai Indians are going to plan for the remaining games. Can Sachin come back in time to save them?

Harbhajan to get fair trial!

The match referee Farooq Engineer said that he would give a fair trial to Harbhajan Singh. He said, nothing will go under the carpet. He will be given a chance to explain his side of the story.

All the evidences will be seen and both the parties will be heard before a decision is taken. IPL is a good success and it has earned a good reputation which should not be spoiled by these bad behaviour.

He said, nothing will be put under the carpet. Everything will be openly discussed and whatever needs to be given to the public, those will be released.

Harbhajan has been assured that he will be given a fair chance to explain his stand! Good luck!
