Cricket Australia (CA) on Wednesday charged Australian opener Matthew Hayden with a breach of its code of behaviour for making offensive remarks against Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh in a radio interview.
The burly Australian cricketer was charged under rule 9 of the CA code of behaviour, which prohibits detrimental public comment, a CA release said. "Rule guidelines prohibit public denigration of other players against whom they have or will play," it said.
It's been a bit of a long battle with Harbhajan, the first time I ever met him he was the same little obnoxious weed that he is now",
Hayden said the decision was taken at an emergency meeting held by the CA in Melbourne on Wednesday morning to discuss if Hayden had breached rules.
The Cricket Board has the authority to stop its contracted player from commenting on television, radio or print if it feels that it is not in good taste about an opposition players or Board.
