Pakistan skipper Inzamam congratulates India's Rahul Dravid

A parliamentary committee in Pakistan wants an explanation into the country's first-ever home defeat by India.
Sports Minister Raees Munir and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan will be among those taking part in open discussion.
India won the recent Test series 2-1 and the one-day series 3-2 on their first tour of Pakistan since 1989.
Pakistan were severely criticised after losing the decisive third Test in Rawalpindi by an innings and 131 runs.
"The standing committee of the senate on sports and culture has summoned Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials to tell us the reasons of Pakistan's defeats against India," said senator Enver Baig.
"Every other man is concerned and losing interest in the game after the India defeat and wants to know what are the reasons."
Following the defeats, the PCB later formed a medical commission to look into a spate of injuries to key players.
Reports have suggested chief executive Ramiz Raja may be facing the axe as officials ring the changes in Pakistan's cricket administration.
However, Baig said the cricket officials would have been
summoned even if Pakistan had not lost to their main rivals.
"No, even if we had lost in this manner to a team like Sri Lanka or Bangladesh we would have done the same," he insisted.
