In a column in "The News" daily, Inzamam had said India violated the spirit of the game by appealing for his dismissal for obstructing the field.

Inzamam became only the third player in one-day internationals to be given out under the rule during the match in Peshawar, which Pakistan won by seven runs.

"I would not have imagined that Dravid and his team would do such a thing," Inzamam said in the column. "I am not bothered about my dismissal but an appeal made in an unsportsmanlike manner by the visiting team can have an adverse affect on the relations between the two opponents."

While the appeal was within the rules of the game, Inzamam said he was only trying to protect himself from fielder Suresh Raina's throw.

But India's Dravid said in a statement: "In my opinion, and in the opinion of umpires and match referee whom I have spoken to, the Indian team did not act in any unsportsmanlike manner or against the spirit of the game."

Dravid said the umpires and match referees would have taken action if India had exhibited unsportsmanlike behaviour.
