Inzamam could be suspended if found guilty of the charges

The hearing, over ball-tampering and disrepute charges, has been put back because match referee Ranjan Madugalle is not available for personal reasons.

Team manager Zaheer Abbas said they had agreed to wait until after the one-day series ends on 10 September.

And he said Pakistan would "definitely" play the entire series.

He added that Thursday's fixture against Middlesex would go ahead as scheduled.

"We are definitely playing that match and the remaining ones also," he insisted.

"The players are now just concentrating on the cricket and winning the one-dayers."

Zaheer said Pakistan fully accepted the decision to delay the hearing into Inzamam's conduct until after 10 September, when the series ends.

"Madugalle's sister has had a serious accident and the reasons for postponing the hearing are genuine. Our legal advisers also felt it was best to wait," Abbas said.

There had been fears Pakistan could boycott Monday's Twenty20 match against England and the subsequent five-game one-day series if Inzamam was found guilty and given a ban.

The England and Wales Cricket Board would have faced the prospect of a loss of more than �10m if the one-dayers had been called off.

The charges faced by Inzamam arise out of the fourth Test at The Oval, which ended with the game being awarded to England by forfeit.

Pakistan initially refused to come out onto the field after tea on the fourth day in protest at umpire Darrell Hair's decision to penalise them for ball-tampering.

Inzamam was singled out for action by the ICC because the captain is deemed responsible for the actions of his team.

And he could be suspended for up to four Tests or eight one-day internationals if found guilty of the disrepute charge, which the ICC views as more serious.

Pakistan have appointed high-profile law firm DLA Piper to put their side of the argument and they were keen for a delay in any event to allow them more time to prepare their case.

Meanwhile, Pakistan have welcomed the news that International Cricket Council chief executive Malcolm Speed is expected to fly to London as a result of the row.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahriyar Khan said: "We have an indication from our lawyers that they have information Malcolm Speed is likely to be coming.

"We hope his coming here is likely to help the situation."
