Harbhajan sets off for England

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

MUMBAI, NOV 1: Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, accompanied by the executive secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sharad Diwadkar, left for England here today to undergo corrective measures on his bowling action under the watchful eyes of former England off-spinner Fred Titmus.

The 18-year-old offie was not considered for the Dhaka bound Indian team for the on-going Wills International Cup following adverse reports on his action by the International Cricket Council (ICC) referees Ranjan Madugalle of Sri Lanka and Peter van der Merwe of South Africa recently.

The ICC's throwing panel asked the BCCI not to consider Harbhajan for future selection until his action was rectified and the young man suddenly found himself in the wilderness.
