Punjab Cricket Association on Saturday defended its star batsman Yuvraj Singh following his comments on the Sourav Ganguly-Greg Chappell episode, saying it is up to the Cricket Board to "take measures" to prevent players from making such remarks.

Bindra did not clarify if PCA would summon Yuvraj, like it had done in Harbhajan Singh's case, but said: "we will definitely ask him about his comments".

"The comments [by players] have become order of the day. Norms are meant to be observed, but the Board has to ensure their strict enforcement," Bindra told a press conference in Mohali.

Bindra's comments came a day after BCCI secretary S K Nair took objection to Yuvraj's remark, saying he had breached the Board's gag order.

Yuvraj had said on Thursday that the row between skipper Ganguly and coach Chappell is disappointing but the team should move ahead.

PCA had earlier summoned off spinner Harbhajan Singh following his outburst against Chappell and advised him to have a word with the Association rather than rushing to the media.
