The charges follow the sensational forfeit Sunday of the fourth and final Test between hosts England and Pakistan at The Oval after accusations of ball-tampering against the Pakistan team.

The ICC said in a statement: "Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq will be required to answer two charges relating to 'changing the condition of the ball' and 'bringing the game into disrepute'."

Both charges will be considered at a hearing to be conducted by ICC chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle in London on Friday.

If found guilty he faces a fine of between 50 and 100 per cent of his match fee and/or a one Test or two ODI ban.

The ICC said that Inzamam was "deemed responsible" for the actions that led to his team forfeiting the Test.
