PCB to appeal against Inzamam's ban

LAHORE, MARCH 30. Citing the case of Sourav Ganguly as precedent, PCB said they would appeal against match referee Chris Broad's one-Test ban on Inzamam-ul Haq hoping the ICC would revoke the ban even if that would mean slapping another fine on the Pakistan skipper.

"We have not received an official intimation as yet but as soon as we get it, we are going to appeal against the ban and will ask the ICC to review the one match ban and convert it into a fine," Pakistan team manager Saleem Altaf told The News.

He said he had discussed the issue with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shaharyar Khan who had witnessed the Bangalore Test.

"The ICC recently also upheld an appeal against a two-match ban on Indian captain Sourav Ganguly," Altaf pointed out.

Ganguly was slapped a two-Test ban by match referee Clive Lloyd for India's slow over-rate against Pakistan in the BCCI Platinum Jubilee one-day international match but he was later exonerated. — UNI
