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
