ICC comments on reports concerning Darrell Hair

The ICC has noted reports that umpire Darrell Hair has instructed his lawyers to issue an application to the London Central Employment Tribunal alleging racial discrimination by the International Cricket Council and the Pakistan Cricket Board.

The ICC does not believe there is merit in this claim and will vigorously defend the matter.

Given the ongoing nature of proceedings, the ICC will not be making any further comment on the issue at this stage.
