TNN
MUMBAI: Mumbai Magicians had on Sunday, lodged a protest against Punjab alleging they had fielded 12 players in the last five minutes of the final quarter.
After looking at the video footage, Hockey India League’s Technical Committee confirmed the error and decided to ban Punjab manager Jagbir Singh from standing in the team dug out for one match.
Mumbai coach Ric Charlesworth was obviously not impressed with the decision. “It is slapping someone with a wet tissue. The least the Technical Committee could have done was to dock some points,” Charlesworth said.
