Younus Khan spoke for the first time on the death of former Pakistani coach

Former Pakistan captain Younus Khan has given a statement on the death of former coach Bob Woolmer in 2007. He says that in the 2007 ODI World Cup, Pakistani players were questioned for three days after the coach's death. We had to face a lot of difficulties.

On 17 March 2007, Ireland caused a big upset by defeating Pakistan in the World Cup. After this defeat, the Pakistan team was out of the World Cup. The very next day, i.e. on 18 March, Pakistan's then head coach Bob Woolmer was found unconscious in the bathroom of a hotel in Jamaica. Later it was reported that he died in the hospital. The entire cricket world was shocked by the death of Bob Woolmer in the middle of the World Cup.

Younus Khan was dismissed on a score of zero by Boyd Rankin. Players sent to another island

While talking to a Pakistani TV channel, Younus said that after the death of 58-year-old Bob Woolmer, the Pakistani team was shifted to another island by the police and they were questioned for three days. Younus further said that this was a torture for us. I think the authorities should have taken care of us.

"I was very close to Woolmer"- Younus

Younus said that "I was very close to Bob Woolmer. We used to sit together and discuss cricket, but it can be called unfortunate that we were not together the night Woolmer died. Actually, we had lost to Ireland. I was also very disappointed with the defeat in that match and my own performance. As soon as I reached the hotel, I went to my room and locked myself. The next day we came to know about his death. I did not see him at breakfast time.

Younus said - "If Woolmer had remained the coach, Pakistan cricket would have been different today"

Younus says that if Bob Woolmer had been the coach today, the team would have been very different. After Woolmer's death, it was revealed that he was shocked by the team's defeat. He had a heart attack. He was also a diabetic patient. There was blood on his mouth. Later, the Jamaican police came to the conclusion that he was not murdered, but he died due to health reasons. However, many questions have also been raised on the action of the Jamaican police. Bob Woolmer was born in 1948 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. After that he played cricket with the England team. He was also the head coach of South Africa.
