Inzy served one-Test ban for dissent

The Pakistani skipper was also fined 30 per cent of his match fees for showing dissent against the umpire's decision on Monday.

Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq's victory celebrations for defeating India by 168 runs in the third Test match for a series-levelling win on Monday were dampened by a one-match ban slapped on him by match referee Chris Broad.

Inzamam was sentenced to a one-Test ban and fined 30 per cent of his match fees by Broad for showing dissent against the umpire's decision on the last day of the third and final Test, team manager Salim Altaf said.

Broad, a former England Test cricketer, summoned Inzamam for a disciplinary hearing after the post-match awards presentation ceremony.

The Pakistan captain was found guilty of breaching the International Cricket Council's code of conduct.

Inzamam will now miss the first Test match against the West Indies when Pakistan starts its Caribbean tour in May. Inzamam survived a suspension during the recent tour of Australia, where Pakistan's recurring slow bowling over-rate was found to have violated ICC regulations.
