New Delhi: Kalinga Lancers' drag-flicker Gurjinder Singh was handed a two-match suspension on Monday for physically assaulting a Jaypee Punjab Warriors player during their Hockey India League (HIL) match at Bhubaneswar.
The Disciplinary Committee of the HIL met on Monday to discuss the conduct of Gurjinder in Sunday's match between the Lancers and Warriors.
"The incident involved Gurjinder physically assaulting a player from the opponent team which clearly breached the HHIL Code of Conduct. The incident was proved by the video footage as well as Gurjinder accepting the assault on the field.
