Melbourne, Oct 4: Indian Speedster S Sreesanth has warned the Australian captain Ricky Ponting to be careful against off-spinner Harbhajan Singh in the forthcoming Test series that gets underway from October 9.

Sreesanth, who claims that he has become a huge fan of the turbanator despite the slap-gate incident in the Indian Premier League (IPL), said he was itching to play with Harbhajan again. ''He's always done well against Australia since those 32 wickets (in 2001) and Ricky Ponting should watch out for him,'' Sreesanth was quoted as saying by The Age. Harbhajan had slapped Sreesanth at the end of an IPL game between the Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians, after which the off-spinner was suspended from the whole tournament.

''I am a huge fan of his and everyone learns from experience.

I'm looking forward to playing with him again. Life has moved on and whatever he has learnt as a cricketer is always good for India,'' Sressanth added.
