LONDON – Pakistan cricket captain Inzaman-ul-Haq was yesterday cleared of ball-tampering but found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute over his side’s refusal to play during last month’s fourth Test against England.
After a two-day disciplinary hearing, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that Inzaman would be banned for four one-day internationals. The sanction is considerably less severe than the maximum ban Inzaman could have received, which would have ruled him out for up to four Tests and up to eight one-dayers.Inzaman has 24 hours to decide whether he wants to appeal.If he does not, the ban will rule him out of Pakistan’s opening matches in the Champions Trophy in India.Nampa-AFPThe sanction is considerably less severe than the maximum ban Inzaman could have received, which would have ruled him out for up to four Tests and up to eight one-dayers.Inzaman has 24 hours to decide whether he wants to appeal.If he does not, the ban will rule him out of Pakistan’s opening matches in the Champions Trophy in India.Nampa-AFP
