New Delhi, May 2: The controversies surrounding the lucrative Indian Premier League seem unending. After the Sreesanth-Harbhajan slap row and the Warne-Ganguly feud, the latest hullabaloo is that even the match referee Farookh Engineer can land in a soup for wearing the shirt of one of the IPL teams on the field and also going to the toss in the same uniform.

He was earlier also seen in the dressing room of the Kings XI Punjab with Mohali franchisee owner Preity Zinta. The law is that a match referee cannot go on the field after the toss. He has to share his room with the third umpire and the other officials. He can, under no circumstances, roam around in the stadium.

The Indian Premier League chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi said that Engineer could land into trouble and a hearing would most probably take place.
