Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq's ICC hearing begins at Oval
Pakistan cricket captain Inzamam-ul-Haq's disciplinary hearing has begun at The Oval in London and he faces ball-tampering and disrepute charges after last month's forfeited Test match against England.
Inzamam-ul-Haq had refused to bring his team back out onto the field after being penalised for ball-tampering on day four of the fourth Test on 20 August.
Chief International Cricket Council (ICC) referee Ranjan Madugalle is chairing the two-day hearing with the verdict expected on Friday.
Inzamam-ul-Haq arrived at The Oval with coach Bob Woolmer just before umpire Darrell Hair turned up in a taxi and said: "No comment - good to see you all."
After the first day, the ICC expects to issue a statement with details of the day's events and an update on when the verdict is expected.
If Inzamam-ul-Haq is found guilty of the ball-tampering offence he could receive a fine of between 50 and 100% of his match fee and could also be banned for one Test or two one-day internationals, whilst on the second charge, considered more serious by the ICC, a ban of between two and four Tests or four to eight ODIs is a possibility.
