KINGSTON, March 21: Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq broke down in tears after he was dismissed for 37 in the World Cup match against Zimbabwe here on Wednesday, his last appearance as national team captain.

Inzamam sobbed as he made his way off the Sabina Park pitch.

He was congratulated by the entire Zimbabwe team who all rushed over to shake his hand while his own team-mates formed a guard of honour to see him back into the pavilion.

The 37-year-old Inzamam raised his bat to the sparse crowd, removed his helmet and tearfully acknowledged the warm applause after he was caught at long-on by Sean Williams off Tawanda Mupariwa in the 28th over of the innings.

Inzamam had been attempting to launch another huge six having already smashed three over the ropes. He finished his 378-match one-day career with 11,739 runs to his name, 10 centuries and 83 fifties.—AFP
