LAHORE, April 2: The Pakistan Cricket Board has asked the assistant manager of the national team to return to Jamaica and remain in Kingston until the body of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer is sent to Cape Town.

Asad Mustafa had arrived in London on his way home from Jamaica but was told to go back.

“We need to have a responsible board official in Kingston while the investigations continue into Woolmer's death and until his body is released by the authorities to be sent to Cape Town,” a senior board official said on Sunday.

While the Pakistan squad left the Caribbean last week, Asad and the team's fitness trainer Murray Stevenson stayed back in Jamaica to assist the police with their investigation.—Reuters
