Karachi, Sept. 3: Pakistan have named match referee Mike Procter as one of their witnesses in the ICC disciplinary hearing of skipper Inzamam-ul Haq on the twin charges of ball tampering and bringing the game into disrepute scheduled for the end of this month.

Procter would be one of the 19 witnesses Pakistan’s lawyers are planning to call to the hearing, The News quoted Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan as saying.

Shaharyar Khan hoped that the South African’s presence would enhance the chances of Inzamam escaping a ban.

Procter was the man at the helm of The Oval Test against England that ended in a controversial forfeiture after umpire Darrell Hair accused Pakistan of ball tampering on the fourth day of the match.

If Inzamam is found guilty, he faces a ban of up to four Tests or eight one-dayers. Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has asked the Pakistan team to move on from controversy and concentrate on winning the five-match one-day series against England.

Mr Aziz, who was on hand to watch a part of the second one-dayer at Lord’s on Sunday, praised the team for its hard work and said he expected it to win the limited overs series.
