Upset over the row between Mumbai Indians stand-in captain Harbhajan Singh and Kings XI Punjab paceman S Sreesanth, Indian Premier League Chairman Lalit Modi said it was a “serious matter” and was not good for the tournament.

“It looks like a serious matter but I can’t say anything now. In any tournament it should not happen, it’s unfortunate what happened yesterday,” Modi said. “The tournament is being played under the ICC guidelines, besides there are also tournament guidelines for the players,” he said.
