Dubai:Besides Gibbs and Benaud, Gibbs' legal representative, ICC match referee Chris Broad and a legal representative acting on his behalf would be part of the hearing.

ICC in-house lawyer Urvasi Naidoo will also be present on the call in an administrative capacity, a press release by the International Cricket Council said.

Under the terms of the appeals procedure, Benaud has seven days (from January 18, the date his appointment was confirmed) to hear and determine the appeal.

The appeal will therefore be processed before South Africa's third Test against Pakistan begining in Cape Town on January 26.

Benaud has the power to increase, decrease, amend or otherwise substitute his own decision from that made at the previous hearing, and his decision is final and binding.
