"Darrell Hair is unlikely to officiate in future international matches," the NDTV 24x7 channel quoted unnamed sources as saying.

A two-day ICC executive board meeting, which will decide on Hair's future among other issues, began in Mumbai on Friday.

Pakistan blamed Hair when they forfeited the Oval test against England in August after they were penalised for alleged ball tampering.
