India - Renowned sports psychologist Rudi Webster has
advised banned India spinner Harbhajan Singh to seek
professional help to cope with the emotional demands of
competitive cricket.
Harbhajan was banned for five one-day internationals this
week for a slapping incident involving Shanthakumaran Sreesanth
during a domestic Twenty20 league match last month.
"Harbhajan must now learn to control his thinking and
emotions and to keep his concentration focused and locked into
the task at hand, particularly when he is under pressure,"
Webster told Friday's The Asian Age newspaper.
"I am sure there are many professionals in India who can
help Harbhajan in those areas," said Webster, who has worked
with the Indian team in the past.
