Bob Woolmer has left his undeniable print on Pakistan cricket and will never be forgotten by the players, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq said at a memorial service yesterday.

"No one can ever really understand the void in the team he has left. He was a top-class coach," Inzamam told the congregation.

Candle lights burnt and floral wreaths were placed by a large portrait of Woolmer, smiling and wearing the Pakistan team T-shirt.

Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his hotel room two weeks ago, a day after Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup. Woolmer, Pakistan's coach since 2004, died later in hospital and police in Jamaica are treating his death as murder.
