Meanwhile Inzamam indicated he would accept his punishment -- his fifth in the last 19 months of international cricket and eleventh of his career.
"Since this is the minimum possible suspension I do not think we would appeal," he said. "And since the next four matches start with the ICC Champions Trophy next month, I won't be able to play the tournament."
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan, who reiterated his organization's call for Hair not to stand in Pakistan matches, made it clear the PCB still wanted the ICC to carry out an investigation into the umpire's conduct.
"We have already written to the ICC asking them to investigate Mr Hair's conduct in this Test and bringing the game into disrepute," Khan said.
Shaharyar added that the Pakistan people as a whole felt "vindicated" by the decision to clear Inzamam, 36, of ball-tampering.
"People take cricket very seriously and that is why I say that every strata of society in Pakistan is very sensitive about its cricket players and what they represent. The people of Pakistan would feel vindicated that this sensitive issue of cheating there has been a clear, unequivocal verdict," he said.
Former Sri Lanka captain Madugalle made it clear why he'd found Inzamam not guilty of ball-tampering.
"In my judgment, the marks are as consistent with normal wear and tear of a match ball after 56 overs as they are with deliberate human interventions," he said.
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has called for an apology from Hair for "wrongly implicating" Inzamam.
"In fact, the ICC verdict totally negates what Hair did and said during and after The Oval test," the News daily quoted Imran as saying yesterday.
"It is a victory for Pakistan, skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq and other cricketers," said the man who led Pakistan to their only World Cup victory in 1992.
