Rawalpindi, Oct 30: England captain Nasser Hussain faces disciplinary action for dissent and damaging equipment in the dressing room.
Hussain's hearing with Australian match referee Barry Jarman delayed his post-match conference by nearly 30 minutes. However, the decision has been put off by 24 hours and is expected to be announced on Tuesday.
Hussain was summoned by the match referee after he broke the dressing room window and glass door of refrigerator with his bat after receiving a harsh leg before decision against Wasim Akram.
Hussain was also reported to the match referee by local officials who complained that he had pushed a couple of stewards and abused the gatekeeper.
Hussain was immediately called by the match referee to explain his unsporting attitude. He later came back to the dressing room and returned to Jarman's room with his manager and coach.
