Announcing this the PCB secretary Waqar Ahmad said that as the Referee Jackie Hendricks had suspended Inzamam-ul-Haq for the next two matches of the series, the board could not punish the forceful batsman twice on the same charges.

The bad incident occurred when India chasing a meagre target of 116 had collected 45 for one. Suddenly, Inzamam was seen to have jumped the advertising hoardings and entered the stands with a bat to hit one of the spectators. However, the blow did not hit the man as Inzimam was restrained by a group of people in the crowd and later by security men. Justifying Hendricks's decision, Waqar Ahmad said Clause 2 of the ICC code of conduct would have applied on a player, even if he left the ground without having the umpire's permission, but here, Inzamam, he said, had committed a blunder as he tried to hit a spectator with a bat. To a question, he said that Inzamam-ul-Haq and the unfit paceman Kabir Khan would not be called back as the Canadian tour was a short one, ending on September 21. He said that presently, he did not know the exact schedule of another paceman Shahid Nazir's departure for Canada to replace Kabir Khan.
