Karachi, Sep 28: Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq has been cleared of ball tampering by the International Cricket Council, Pakistan Cricket Board operations director Abbas Zaidi said on Thursday.

"I can confirm Inzamam has been cleared of the ball-tampering charges," Zaidi said from Karachi.

Zaidi said Inzamam though was charged with bringing the game into disrepute but said it was not yet known what the penalty would be.

It is learnt that he has been banned for four One-Day Internationals.

Pakistan were deemed to have forfeited the fourth Test against England at The Oval last month after they refused to take the field after tea on the fourth day following a five-run penalty for alleged ball tampering.

Their protest followed a decision by umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove to change the ball and penalise the team.
