Inzamam hearing to be held Sept. 15
The International Cricket Council will hold a disciplinary hearing into Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq’s actions in the fourth test on Sept. 15, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan said on Friday.
The hearing into the ball-tampering controversy was postponed last Friday due to the enforced absence through a family illness of ICC 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 centre 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,” Shaharyar told Reuters by telephone from London.

Re: ICC to set Inzamam hearing date
This news got overshadowed by the hair revelations.
Re: ICC to set Inzamam hearing date
LOL.. way to go Hair. Its pretty evident Hair felt the pressure of the situation too. Its not as black and white as he makes it out to be. I'm sure the lords at the ECB have given Mr Speed a good earful at losing 400,000 sterling and the prospect of losing 5,000,000 more if Pakistan pull out.

Inzamam hearing now at end of September](http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvpak/content/current/story/257865.html)
Inzamam-ul-Haq's disciplinary hearing for the Pakistan team's actions in the Oval Test has again been delayed until the end of September.
The hearing was originally scheduled for August 25 but was postponed because Ranjan Madugalle, the ICC chief referee, was unavailable due to an illness in the family. **Shaharyar Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan board, told Reuters this morning that the hearing was set for September 15, but the date has again been changed to the end of the month. **
“When we met with the lawyers for the PCB yesterday - which was a very amicable meeting - we suggested that the hearing happen on the 14th and 15th, bearing in mind that the one-day series finishes the previous Sunday,” Malcolm Speed, the ICC chief executive said. “That date did not suit them for one reason or another and they asked for it to be put back. We are looking now for a date that suits the key participants … so at this stage we are looking at the last week in September.”
Inzamam and his team have been charged with ball tampering and bringing the game into disrepute. If found guilty of both charges, Inzamam could be banned for eight one-day internationals or four Tests.
Meanwhile, Shaharyar also confirmed that Pakistan’s tour will go ahead despite all the controversy surrounding it. “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.” Pakistan are scheduled to play a Twenty20 international on Monday, followed by a five-match one-day series which starts on August 30 and ends on September 10.
Re: ICC to set Inzamam hearing date
Inzy will not be able to perform well in this scenario.
Re: ICC to set Inzamam hearing date
^^
I think Inzi is strong enough. He'll be able to handle the pressure and worries. Actually, am sure he'll do good.
Re: ICC to set Inzamam hearing date
It will be live on television? When and which channel?
