The secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Jaywant Lele, told PTI

that the details of who would accompany him and when were still awaited. ``We should get a clear picture by November first week,'' he said.

The 18-year-old Harbhajan was left out of the Dhaka-bound Indian team on an International Cricket Council (ICC) directive after the ICC match referees Peter van der Merwe of South Africa and Ranjan Madugalle of Sri Lanka had given adverse reports on the offie's bowling action.

Either Erapalli Prasanna or S Venkataraghavan are likely to accompany Harbhajan to England, it is learnt.
