Notably, Harbhajan Singh has accused Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) president Gulzar Inder Singh Chahal of corruption.

He also wrote to members of the association, district units, and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, stating that the current regime is engaging in illegal activities.

Chahal, 39, was unanimously elected PCA president earlier this year. Interestingly, Harbhajan also backed him, which the latter now says was a 'mistake'.
