INZAMAM's trial date

Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq's disciplinary hearing relating to events in the forfeited fourth Test against England has been confirmed for September 27 and 28.
Inzamam, 36, faces charges of ball tampering and bringing the game into disrepute over a two-day hearing with International Cricket Council senior match referee Ranjan Madugalle.
ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed announced the scheduling at a press conference in Mumbai to launch the ICC Champions Trophy.
The hearing is expected to take place in London, where Pakistan's lawyers are based.
Inzamam faces the charge of ball tampering as the figurehead of the Pakistani team - after umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove penalised the tourists for altering the condition of the ball on the fourth afternoon at the Brit Oval.
Having led a sit-in dressing room protest at the five-run punishment and switch of match ball, refusing twice to take the field after tea - actions which led to the first forfeiture in 129 years of Test cricket - Inzamam had a disrepute charge slapped on him.
Australian Hair, who controversially offered to quit his post on the elite umpiring panel in exchange for $500,000 in the aftermath of the match, and West Indian official Doctrove are expected to give evidence along with match referee Mike Procter.
