Every Pakistan team member at the Cricket World Cup was being interviewed by Jamaican police yesterday as part of the investigation into the death of their coach Bob Woolmer on Sunday.

"The interviews are taking up to an hour for each player," Pakistan team manager Talat Ali told Reuters.

Pakistan had been scheduled to fly from Kingston to Montego Bay on the other side of the island last night.

"As soon as we are through with the investigation then we will be able to go to Montego Bay," Ali added.

Former England batsman Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his Kingston hotel room less than 24 hours after Pakistan's shock World Cup defeat by Ireland which knocked them out of the tournament.

He was pronounced dead in hospital later that day.
