Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq will attend the ICC match referee Chris Broad's hearing on Thursday for breach of code of conduct after his dismissal during the second one-day international at Visakhapatam.
Inzamam lashed out at Abdul Razzaq after he was run out and then threw his bat while entering the dressing room. He could face a fine of up to 50 per cent of his match fee or a reprimand.
"I am ashamed of my behaviour. I know I should not have behaved the way I did, but I succumbed to match pressure. It was purely an act that happened in heat of the moment," Inzamam said.
"I was extremely upset on myself because I knew I had blown away the chance of winning the game for my team," he added.
This is the second incident during the tour in which Inzamam has breached the ICC code of conduct after the Pakistan skipper was reprimanded for advancing towards the umpire in an aggressive manner, for which he has been banned for one Test, and showing dissent towards umpiring decision during the third and final Test at Bangalore.
Asked what he had said to Razzaq who failed to respond to his call and was caught watching the ball go to short fine leg, Inzamam said "I told Razzaq that it was my call".
"There is no hard feeling between me or Razzaq. It just happened. We didn't apologise to each other because we both know it was part of the game. But I am sure we will both learn from this incident and will try not to mess-up again," said Inzamam, who equalled Wasim Akram's dubious record of being run-out for 38 times.
If Inzamam is fined, his penalties will rise to nearly Rs 1.8 million since taking over the captaincy from Rashid Latif in October 2003.
