5 Captains who have been charged for ball-tampering 

#4 Inzamam ul-Haq - England v Pakistan, The Oval (2006)

Inzamam ul-Haq was unhappy with the umpires' decision to change the ball.

In 2006, when Pakistan toured England, they played 4 Tests, 5 ODIs and 1 T20I. After a high-scoring draw at Lord’s in the first Test, England beat Pakistan comprehensively in the next two Tests.

However, the fourth and final Test began on a different note. Pakistan who had won the toss and put the hosts into bat first bowled terrifically and dismissed them cheaply. Mohammed Asif and Umar Gul took 4 wickets apiece as the visitors bowled England out for just 173 in their first innings. Pakistan then dominated with the bat scoring 504 and taking a huge lead. England did make a good recovery as they reached 298/4 at Tea on Day 4.

But there was one incident that didn’t go down well with the Pakistan team. Umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove had changed the ball and awarded in the 56th over after they accused the visitors for altering and illegally changing the condition of the ball.

The Inzamam ul-Haq led Pakistani side wasn’t happy with the decision and hence didn’t take the field after the Tea break. They remained in the dressing room as the two umpires and the two England batsmen walked out to the middle. There was a lot of confusion as there were numerous between the Pakistan officials, the ECB officials and the match referee.

After almost an hour’s delay, the Pakistan side were ready to take the field. However, things got worse as the umpires decided not to take the field after Pakistan’s behaviour. Hence, the drama ended after the umpires handed England the match and deemed it as Pakistan forfeited the game, which was the first instance in Test history.

Skipper Inzamam ul-Haq was banned for four Test matches as he was in charge of his team’s behaviour and actions on the field. Even though the Pakistan side was cleared of all the charges later the ban stayed as the skipper brought disrupt to the game.
