ADELAIDE: Justice John Hansen, who has been appointed Commissioner for Harbhajan Singh's appeal against a three-match ban, will on Monday spell out the procedure to be adopted in the case.
Justice Hansen will address the media at the Adelaide Oval on Monday morning where he would brief the media on the procedure. He, however, would not take any questions at the briefing, according to an ICC statement here today.
The hearing will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Justice Hansen is a High Court Judge and New Zealand Cricket's appointment on the ICC Code of Conduct Commission.
Match Referee Mike Procter found Harbhajan guilty of making a racist remark to Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds during the second Test at Sydney.
The charge against Harbhajan was laid by the on-field umpires Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson after the close of play on day three of the second Test, following a complaint from the Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Harbhajan pleaded not guilty to the charge in the January 6 hearing but Procter imposed a ban of three Test matches on the India spinner.
"Under the provisions of the ICC Code of Conduct, Justice Hansen has the power to increase, decrease, amend or otherwise substitute his own decision from that made at the previous hearing, and his decision is final and binding," the ICC statement read.
Once Justice Hansen has reached his decision, he must provide it in writing to Senior Counsel and Company Secretary Urvasi Naidoo, who will then forward it to Harbhajan, Procter and ICC Chief Executive Officer Malcolm Speed ahead of any public announcement.
