The controversial off spinner Harbhajan has wrote a letter to BCCI seeking for a final chance. He also repented for his behavior on the field.
He also mentioned that he apologised to Sreesanth after the incident and ready do so again in public if needed.
Earlier Harbhajan Singh, the stand-in captain of Mumbai Indians, had slapped Sreesanth against Kings XI Punjab in Mohali. The TV footages showed Sreesanth in tears and later it was revealed that Bhajji had hit him during the post match ceremony.
Following that, the IPL banned him for 11 matches and cut 100 percent of the match fee. At that time BCCI asked for a show cause notice and said to investigate into the matter independently.
They also set a committee led by Sudhir Nanavati to investigate the matter. While investigating into the matter Nanavati said that he shocked after seeing the video footage of the incident.
"It looks like Harbhajan's action was pre-meditated rather than spontaneous," he added.
"Physical assault of another player is very serious and never done before, so BCCI wants to set a precedent," Nanavati said.
The board may punish him for the level 4 offences as per the ICC Players' Code of Conduct. A level 4 offence leads to a maximum punishment of a life ban or a minimum ban of five Tests or 10 One-Day Internationals.
According to sources Harbhajan is likely to face a 10-match ban for slapping Sreesanth. He might also be fined 10-20% of his yearly contract of 40 lakh as a Grade B player.
