Malik, Inzy pay moving tributes to Woolmer
Former Pakistan captains Shoaib Malik and Inzamamul Haq sent out moving tributes for former coach Bob Woolmer who passed away on this day 13 years ago.
Woolmer died on March 18, 2007 just a few hours after Pakistan's shock defeat at the hands of minnows Ireland at the ICC World Cup in West Indies.
Pakistan were subsequently knocked out of the multi-national event but Woolmer's untimely death left everyone stunned. Malik took to social media to pay tribute to late Woolmer and his post read: "Miss you coach #RIPBobWoolmer."
Inzamam, who was captain of the team during Woolmer's tenure, dedicated an entire show on his YouTube channel to pay tribute to the late coach.
"Woolmer and I spent time together in the Pakistan team in the capacity of coach and captain," Inzamam said. "We shared many great moments together. He was the most organised coach that I ever came across."
"I got to learn a lot from him. He never used to force things upon the selectors."
