gestured over, has having written as reaason

Question

I note that Sachin Tendulkar only became involved when he realised that something was happening and was gestured over. He tried to calm things down because something had happened that he did not hear," Herald Sun attributed Procter as having written as reason to hold Harbhajan guilty.

"It was submitted to me by (the Indian team manager) that there was doubt because the umpires and other players did not hear the words but, in my judgement, they would not have been in a position to hear them."

I know the meaning of "gestured" but what does "gestured over" means in this context?

Also please explain the highlighed sentence to me i.e. (Herald Sun......Harbhajan guilty)

"He was gestured over" means that someone asked or told him, by means of gestures, to come over.

As for the long part in red -- it's pretty confusing, especially since the beginning of the quote is not included here.

This much is clear to me:

The Herald Sun (probably a newspaper) reported that Procter had written "(the whole part contained in quotation marks, ending with) ....that he did not hear."

So we have:

"blah blah blah ........ that he did not hear," Herald Sun attributed Procter as having written as reason to hold Harbhajan guilty.

It's not clear to me whether (A) the Herald Sun said (Procter wrote blah blah blah) as reason to hold Harbhajan guilty

or (B) the Herald Sun said (Procter wrote blah blah blah as reason to hold Harbhajan guilty)

In my opinion, it's a really confusing, badly written sentence with a quotation of several sentences embedded in it.
