Inzamam-ul-Haq has been suspended from Pakistan's team for the first two One-Day Internationals against New Zealand.

The suspension and a fine were imposed by ICC Match Referee Brian Hastings in June. Inzamam was said to have shown dissent after being dismissed against Australia at Lord's in the NatWest Series.

"We have been notified by the ICC about the match referee's decision and he will only be available from the third match in Rawalpindi," said Pakistan Cricket Board director Munawwar Rana.

The news will come as a blow to the Pakistan team. Inzamam is in fine form at present, having hit a century against Bangladesh in the recent Test, and he is the second highest scorer of ODI runs in Pakistan's history.
