Inzamam slams hotel security


Former Pakistan cricket captain Inzamamul Haq criticised the security at the Jamaican hotel where coach Bob Woolmer was strangled during the World Cup last month.

Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica on March 18, a day after cricketing giants Pakistan suffered a shock defeat at the hands of minnows Ireland, knocking them out of the World Cup.

Inzamam -- who quit as skipper after Pakistan's exit and also announced his retirement from one-day internationals -- said if the murder had happened in Pakistan there would have been a big fuss abroad.

"Four international teams were staying in one hotel -- what security arrangements were made for them? There should be an investigation," Inzamam told private Geo television in an interview broadcast Thursday.

"We should raise this question" with the World Cup hosts, he added.
