Former captain Imran Khan has said that Pakistan Cricket Board should
take legal action against West Indian authorities over their handling of Bob Woolmer's
death.
Imran Khan said the country's reputation has been substantially damaged
by the situation and somebody should be made answerable.
"No one should be able to go scot-free tarnishing and
damaging the reputation of players and cricket so much," Imran Khan said.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board should sue everyone with responsibility
because this was so damaging for the Pakistani team, for Pakistan cricket and
to the country," the cricketer turned politician said.
"They should have ruled out first whether this was natural
causes. By what Pakistan cricket has been through - players being DNA tested,
finger-printed, insinuations of match-fixing, insinuations that the players
might have killed their coach - all this was so damaging and this went on for
a good two months.
"I think someone should be held responsible for it,"
he said.
After pursuing Woolmer's death as murder investigation for
nearly three months, the Jamaican police yesterday said the Pakistan coach died
of natural causes.
