Adelaide, January 30: Relieved at being acquitted of racial abuse charges, Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said he was now looking forward to getting his focus back on cricket ahead of the tri-series against Australia and Sri Lanka.

"I am very happy with the way things have shaped up. We have to move on and get on with the game," Harbhajan was quoted as saying.

An ICC-appointed appeals commissioner on Tuesday lifted a three-Test ban on Harbhajan after finding him not guilty of racially abusing Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds in the infamous Sydney Test.

Justice John Hansen downgraded Harbhajan's offence to use of obscene language and fined him 50 per cent of his match fee which amounts to 3,000 Australian dollars.

The verdict has caused an uproar in Australia with the media accusing the BCCI and the ICC of buckling under BCCI's financial clout.
