The Pakistani Cricket captain has been cleared of the ball-tampering charges made during the fourth test against England at the Oval. The chief match referee of the International Cricket Council,  Ranjan Madugalle, found Inzamam-ul-Haq guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, which resulted in a four one-day international match suspension.

      The accusation of ball-tampering was made in August during the Fourth Test against England. The Pakistan side had been penalized five runs during the middle session of the fourth day play for ball tampering, which led to the side refusing to play after the tea interval. The game was called off and England were declared the winners by forfeit, a first in test cricket. 

      The umpires, Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove, and the match referee charged Inzamam with ball tampering after being unable to pin point which player had actually commited the offence.
     
 After the hearing on Thursday an ICC spokesman announced Ranjan Madugalle's decision. Speaking on Pakistan television Inzamam said, "This is a victory for Pakistan. This is the most lenient ban and I will not appeal against it."
