BCCI divided over punishing Harbhajan on slapgate

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) remains divided over the punishment that should be meted out to Harbhajan Singh for slapping S Sreesanth after the Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab Indian Premier League (IPL) match on April 25.
Harbhajan, already banned by the IPL for 11 matches will have the opportunity to plead his case to the BCCI's Appeals Commissioner Sudhir Nanavati on Friday evening.
He will sit across a man who already seems to have passed judgement on him. After watching the footage of the incident, Nanavati had described the evidence as "shocking" and punishment seems inevitable.
"If he is getting fee from two places, then he should get two punishments too,"
Nanavati had said a few days ago.
