India spinner Harbhajan Singh has been granted an extra day to prepare his defence to a charge of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds during the second Test. The International Cricket Council (ICC) said the hearing had been postponed until after the close of play at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
"At the request of the India team manager and under the circumstances I have exercised my discretionary powers to postpone the code of conduct hearing until the conclusion of this test match," ICC match referee Mike Proctor said in a statement. "I am satisfied that with a further 24 hours India will have time to sufficiently prepare for this hearing."
If found guilty, Harbhajan faces a ban of between two and four test matches or between four and eight one-day internationals. Harbhajan was charged by the match umpires Mark Benson and Steve Bucknor after play ended on Friday following a complaint from Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Harbhajan and Symonds exchanged words shortly after the Indian had reached his half century. Play was delayed for several minutes while the umpires spoke to Harbhajan on the pitch although Proctor said they were not close enough to hear the exchange. Harbhajan has denied he racially abused Symonds.
