ECB, PCB chiefs meet
LONDON, Aug 23: Senior cricket officials from England and Pakistan met at a west London hotel on Wednesday ahead of the upcoming one-day clash between their two nations after the climax of their Test series was cut short by last weekend's ball-tampering row.
Pakistan had threatened to boycott the one-day series if captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was banned.
A disciplinary hearing was due to take place on Friday in London but was postponed on Wednesday because of the unavailabity of ICC chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle, who had been due to hear the case.
England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman David Morgan met with Pakistan counterpart Shaharyar Khan and Inzamam for more than 30 minutes.
Morgan refused to explain what had been discussed, saying only: “I am always available to my counterparts with the Pakistan board, and that was the case today (Wednesday),” before adding he was in no position to comment further.—AFP
