You can't have infield fly rule on a foul ball.Well, the batter would be out on the infield fly call, and the runner would be out on interference, since the fielder still has the right to catch the ball.

Except in USA as you mentioned above? I would assume that would qualify for the rule you cited there?
One last question on this. What if infield fly is called and the baserunner leaves the base and runs into the defensive player attempting to make the catch? Would the runner or the batter be out? Or both?
In USA if the runner interferes with a fielder on a pop fly ball catchable with normal effort, fair or foul both the runner and batter are out. There is no requirement to catch the ball and as I said, in any ruleset, once the interference is called nothing else can happen, the ball is dead at that moment.
Believe umpire should call "infield fly if fair"Does the ball need to be fair for the infield fly rule to be called? What if its a major league flyball and hard to determine fair or foul for a while ?(hang time)
If the ball is near the line they should say that.Believe umpire should call "infield fly if fair"
