BCCI, players want to get on with the game: Shetty

Mumbai, Jan 31 The Cricket Board will not rake up any more issues in the aftermath of the judgement given by ICC Appeals Commissioner John Hansen on the Harbhajan Singh case and wants the players to get on with the game.

"We, as well as the Indian players, just want to get on with the game now. Every individual will have his own view on the judgement given, but we don't want any more discussion of the report and that's the view of our players too," BCCI's Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty said today.

"We are happy with the judgement. Enough has been said and done (on the issue)," he added.

Shetty was reacting to Australian captain Ricky Ponting's sharp criticism today of the lifting of three-Test ban on Harbhajan Singh in the racial abuse case, saying it was the last thing he wanted.

Harbhajan was given the ban by match referee Mike Procter on Jaunary 6 on Andrew Symonds' complaint that the Indian player called him "monkey" but Justice John Hansen of New Zealand overturned the decision, citing lack of evidence.

"It's just that Andrew feels a little bit disappointed by the whole system really over the last few weeks. But I have been also at the fore front of the whole thing for last one month... This was the last thing either of us want," Ponting said in his first public reaction after the development.

The Australian media and other team members were also reportedly unhappy about Harbhajan being given the reprieve while Hansen also accepted that Harbhajan was "lucky" to escape a heavy punishment because ICC failed to provide him the bowler's correct past record of offences. (Agencies)
