Most lenient ban: Inzi

8220;I am happy we have been cleared of a charge that was the basis of what happened in the Oval Test. We are sorry that we could not finish the Test against England but the main cause of our protest is now behind us,8221; he told PTI on phone from London immediately after the verdict was announced.

On the four-match ban for bringing the game into disrepute, he said, 8220;I have no regrets at all because we have been cleared of the ball-tampering charge which was a serious accusation against us and basically meant we were cheating in the Test. Everyone knows that we were in a strong position to win that game,8221; he said, adding that he had no intentions of appealing against the ban because the hearing had been 8220;fair8221;.

Inzamam said he was prepared to face some kind of punishment and hailed the verdict as a victory for the entire country. 8220;I had an idea that I would face some sort of ban. This is the most lenient ban and I will not appeal against it. The entire team backed me and took such a strong stand because it was very upset and angry at being accused of such a serious charge. So this is a big moral victory for us and I am sure it will help the team do very well in the Champions Trophy,8221; he added.
