The International Cricket Council (ICC) charged Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul Haq on Monday with bringing the game into disrepute after his team forfeited the fourth Test against England at the Oval.

"There are two charges brought forward by the umpires, one for changing the condition of the ball and the other for bringing the game into disrepute," ICC spokesman Jon Long said from Dubai.

Both charges were brought against Inzamam for his role as captain of Pakistan. The hearing will take place on Friday.

Pakistan refused to take the field following tea on the fourth day of the final Test on Sunday after they were docked five runs for ball-tampering by the umpires. They again remained in the changing room when the umpires went out a second time 15 minutes later.

The team belatedly took to the field but the umpires ruled that the match was already abandoned and after a lengthy meeting it was awarded to England.

The charge for bringing the game into disrepute is a level three offence. The penalty, if found guilty, would be a ban between two to four Tests or four to eight one-dayers.
