ICC to review footage of incident from second ODI in Pakistan

The ICC said today that it would wait until after it had received a full report and reviewed the available footage of an incident involving South Africa's Andrew Hall and Pakistan batsmen Yousuf Youhana before deciding if any charges should be laid under the ICC's Code of Conduct.

ICC Chief Executive, Malcolm Speed, said that the ICC had noted the incident but was waiting to see a full report from the match officials and footage of the incident before deciding if any charges should be laid.

"Before taking any decision it is important that the ICC is able to obtain the facts and view footage of the incident," he said.

"A video of the incident has been requested as a matter of urgency.

"This footage will be with us by close of business on Wednesday night. Once it is received, we will be in a better position to determine what, if any, action should be taken."

Under the ICC's Code of Conduct, the ICC Chief Executive Officer has five days from the close of play on the day an incident took place within which to lay a charge against a player or official.

This period was increased from just 24 hours in June this year following an incident in the West Indies between Ramnaresh Sarwan and Glenn McGrath that was not reported by the match officials and was not brought to the ICC's attention until after this time had expired.
