The International Cricket Council’s leading administrators were all in London on Friday as efforts were stepped up to find a way out of the ball-tampering row engulfing Pakistan’s tour of England.

 

An ICC spokesman confirmed that chief executive Malcolm Speed, whose arrival had been widely trailed, as well as the global governing body's president, Percy Sonn, and general manager-cricket, David Richardson, had also come across for meetings.

 

The spokesman added that a news conference was scheduled to be held in London later on Friday.

 

Pakistan have threatened to boycott the remainder of their tour if captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was banned as a result of charges of ball-tampering and bringing cricket into disrepute following their forfeiture of the fourth and final Test against England at The Oval on Sunday.
