Pakistan team want to leave Jamaica immediately

24 Mar, 2007

Pakistan's World Cup team have asked Jamaican police to allow them to leave the island as soon as possible after the announcement that coach Bob Woolmer was murdered, the team manager said on Friday.
"We want to get back to Pakistan as soon as possible and we would like to catch the first available flight but we are waiting on clearance from the police," Talat Ali told Reuters. The team flew to Montego Bay from Kingston on Thursday before a police news conference revealed Woolmer, 58, had been strangled at their hotel on Sunday. Pakistan had been due to leave Jamaica on Saturday.
