An ICC spokesman said it was "possible" Harbhajan's hearing would not be held until after the third Test, beginning on January 16 at Perth.
The spokesman did not elaborate whether it could be delayed until after the Adelaide Test--a situation that would allow the heat of the Harbhajan issue to die down.
"It should be held within seven days of a Commissioner being appointed but that can be extended depending on circumstances," he said.
New Zealand High Court judge John Hansen was on Wednesday appointed as Commissioner for the hearing.
