Answer

Harbhajan Singh was given a ban by the ICC after a controversy with Andrew Symonds in early 2008. The incident occurred during the second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia in Sydney. In the 11th over of the match, Singh bowled a bouncer to Symonds, who tried to hook it but missed. Singh then called Symonds a "monkey", which Symonds interpreted as a racial slur.
