QUOTE

Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute after the controversial Oval Test against England.
He also faces an allegation of changing the condition of the ball and an hearing will take place on Friday.

As captain, he is deemed responsible for the conduct of the entire team.

The umpires ruled Pakistan forfeited the Test by initially refusing to take the field after tea in response to being penalised for ball-tampering

It seems the umpire may be a bit of a colourful character.
