Ganguly has already served two matches of the ban

The International Cricket Council have appointed Justice Albie Sachs to hear a dispute over the six-match suspension on India captain Sourav Ganguly.

The Indian board asked for the matter to be taken to arbitration after an appeal on the ban was thrown out.

India said it was contesting some of the rules and procedures adopted by ICC appeals commissioner Michael Beloff.

Ganguly was penalised by match referee Chris Broad for slow over-rates during April's one-day series with Pakistan.

ICC president Ehsan Mani said in a statement the issue would go before the Disputes Resolution Committee with Sachs, a South African Constitutional Court judge, hearing the case.

Justice Sachs will decide on the format and timeframe for the hearing and his decision will be final, the statement said.

The India captain missed the last two one-day internationals against Pakistan and will sit out four games of the upcoming one-day series against West Indies and hosts Sri Lanka if the ban is not overturned.

Have Your Say Should the ban be overturned?

Last November, Ganguly was handed a two-Test ban for his team's slow over-rate during a one-day defeat against Pakistan in Calcutta but successfully appealed.

Meanwhile, Ganguly will leave county side Glamorgan next week to attend India's pre-season camp in Bangalore.

The Welsh side expect Ganguly to be back for a four-day match starting on July 21 if the ban remains and the player is not picked for the Sri Lankan series.
