Date set for Inzamam disciplinary

Inzamam's hearing has taken a new twist after the Darrell Hair revelations.

KARACHI, Pakistan -- The International Cricket Council will hold the disciplinary hearing into Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq's actions in the fourth Test on September 15, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan has revealed.

The hearing into the ball-tampering controversy was postponed last Friday due to the absence through a family illness of chief referee Ranjan Madugalle.

Shaharyar said Sri Lankan Madugalle would now be able to fly to London to adjudicate.

Inzamam could be banned for eight one-day internationals or four Tests if he is found guilty of ball tampering and bringing the game into disrepute.

He has been charged with both offences by the ICC after his team forfeited the fourth and final Test against England at The Oval on Sunday.

Shaharyar, like tour manager Zaheer Abbas, was unwilling to comment on Friday's revelation that Darrell Hair, the Australian umpire at the center of controversy, had offered to quit top level cricket in return for $500,000.

"We don't want to comment on this issue because it is between Hair and the ICC. But I think everyone agrees there will be implications," said Shaharyar.

Pakistan play a Twenty20 match against England in Bristol on Monday, followed by one-day matches.

"I have spoken firmly with the boys and told them we have to fulfill our commitments even if they feel slighted by Hair and believe the hearing should have been held before the one-day series," added Shaharyar.
