The Story in Brief
Harbhajan Singh has recalled being expelled from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in 2000, insisting he was not at fault. The former India spinner said the incident involved him tearing up a diet chart, which led to the NCA removing him from the camp. Harbhajan, speaking in a recent interview, did not elaborate on what triggered the act but maintained it was not his mistake.
The NCA expulsion came early in Harbhajan's career, before his international breakthrough. He later became one of India's most successful bowlers. Sports broadcaster NDTV reported the cricketer's account on Tuesday.
The Indian Opinion
The story has resurfaced with the usual spin: a hot-headed youngster wasting an opportunity. But Harbhajan's version, that it was 'not my mistake', hints at a context that the brief clip does not capture. Rather than another tale of aggression, this could be a reminder of how the NCA's rigid methods have clashed with strong-willed talent. Watch for whether Harbhajan names the official who handed him the chart.
