NEW DELHI, May 12: An inquiry into the slapping row involving Harbhajan Singh and his national team-mate Shanthakumaran Sreesanth is complete and the Indian cricket board will receive the findings on Tuesday.

“Inquiry commissioner Sudhir Nanavati will give his report to the board tomorrow,” Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) chief administrator Ratnakar Shetty said on Monday.

Harbhajan has already been banned from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament and could face suspensions from international cricket.

Nanavati interviewed Harbhajan, who slapped Sreesanth during an IPL match last month, and Sreesanth last Friday.

Harbhajan already has been banned from the remainder of the lucrative IPL and fined his entire fee for that match. He lost a substantial part of his potential income from a contract worth $850,000 for the season.—AP
