"I am not at all surprised that the ICC has not reacted to the way Dhoni engaged in an argument with Aleem Dar during the series as the ICC can't afford to upset the powerful Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)," Moin said.

"...The way Dhoni questioned Aleem Dar's umpiring and argued with him it is unacceptable," he added.

Moin said since the BCCI was financially very strong and influential in world cricket, the ICC did not reprimand Dhoni.

Dar was also criticised by former Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne in one of his tweets and described as a poor umpire for a the bad decision he gave during the series.

Dar has reacted to Warne's tweet by telling a Pakistani channel that he was doing his job and Warne was doing his in his new role as a television commentator.

Moin said the ICC needs to ensure that a uniform set of rules applied for all Test nations.

"Dhoni has in the past also argued with umpires and got away with it," he noted.

Inzamam advised the Indian captain to start blaming the umpiring for his team's struggling form in the ongoing series. MORE
