"I am very disappointed with the way they have been handling my case. They have been raising questions after every match. Then what was the point in going all the way to Australia (to work under a biomechanics expert)," Harbhajan said, reacting to the development that his 'doosra' delivery had been reported by match referee Chris Broad and the two on-field umpires during the Kolkata Test against Pakistan.

Harbhajan was also reported for suspected bowling action after the Bangladesh series following which he went to Australia to work on his action and was subsequently cleared to play the series against Pakistan.

On what would be his next step, the off-spinner said it was up to the BCCI to decide the next course of action and he would again have to undergo similar tests if the board decides so.

"It is up to the board to decide. If they say I will have to go I will go. But I am confident that there is nothing wrong with my action," he told a private news channel.

"I was cleared by the ICC panel to bowl after my tests in Australia. If there was anything wrong, it would have come in the report."

The Punjab bowler said he had done everything that he was asked by the ICC to rectify his bowling action and all the test results showed that he was below the 15 degree mark.
