Hair was at the centre of controversy in the fourth Test against England at The Oval at the weekend in which Pakistan was forced to forfeit the match.
The ICC endorsed the decision by Hair and fellow umpire Billy Doctrove to award the match to the home team at the Oval on Sunday after Pakistan stayed in the dressing room after tea on day four in protest after being penalised for alleged ball-tampering.
ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed ruled out any review of the result after Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has demanded the match be declared null and void.
"It is not the role of the ICC to overturn the decision of on-field umpires, the people who are enshrined in the laws of cricket as the sole judges of fair and unfair play, the ultimate arbiters of the game.
Lingering fears remain that Pakistan may reconsider playing the upcoming one day series in England because of the incident which has seen cricket’s reputation plummet.
