Cricket: Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed were questioned by Jamaican police investigating the murder of coach Bob Woolmer and were later cleared to return home.

Inzamam told reporters that police in Montego Bay had wanted to clear up one point with him in the inquiry, just hours before the party was due to fly.

"It was nothing special but I think it was something he (unnamed police officer) missed," he said shortly before he was scheduled to begin the long journey back to Pakistan following a traumatic seven days. "He told me 'please go home, there is nothing else'."

Mushtaq added: "The police are doing their work. There is nothing wrong. They have asked lots of guys questions. This is a police policy and we follow the police.

"It was one of our family members (Woolmer) that was lost and we have to help as best as we can."

The murder of Woolmer, 58, by strangling last Sunday has rocked the World Cup and completely overshadowed the action.

Police have said they were looking for one or more culprits and added that none of the Pakistan team were suspects.

They were not immediately available for comment over the latest questioning of Inzamam and Mushtaq. The seven-week World Cup culminates in the Barbados final on April 28th.
