Pakistan told to keep quiet by ICC chief
LONDON—Pakistan have been warned they may face a further charge of
breaching the Code of Conduct if they continue making public comments
about the events surrounding the final Test against England.
Malcolm Speed, the International Cricket Council's chief executive, has
issued a final warning to the Pakistan team and management to stop
issuing comments related to the controversial events of the Oval.
Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq is still awaiting a date for his disciplinary
hearing when he will defend two charges of breaching the code of conduct
for his behaviour after his side were accused of ball-tampering on the
fourth day of the Test.
"I've been very disappointed by some of the public comments that have
been made by members of the Pakistan Cricket Board, team management and
captain Inzamam-ul-Haq following the Oval Test," explained Speed.
"Over the course of the last two weeks there has been a stream of
unnecessary and inappropriate public comment from the PCB, much of which
could be seen as prejudicial to the pending Code of Conduct hearing," he
added. —Agencies |
