Pakistan seethes after humiliation UPDATE: protests in Multan, Pak team coach found dead
To mark St. Patricks's day, the Irish beat Pakistan at cricket ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Pakistan Cricket Board chief Nasim Ashraf, national coach Bob Woolmer and team captain Inzamam-ul-Haq have all come under fire as the country seethes after the humiliating loss to Ireland, which ended their interest in the World Cup in West Indies. Ashraf's head will probably be the first to roll when he faces a senate standing committee on culture, sport, youth affairs and tourism next week. "We will ask for his (Ashraf's) resignation in the meeting which is due to take place before March 28," Senator Mohammad Enver Baig, a member of the committee, said. "You lost miserably to a country like Ireland. There is nothing to compensate and the chairman must resign and go back to the United States," Baig said. Posted by: John Frum 2007-03-18 |
