Woolmer found unconscious in hotel

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer has been found unconscious in his hotel room in the West Indies.

A Pakistan team spokesman confirmed the news and added that he had been taken to hospital.

There is no news on the condition of the former England Test player, 58, who on Saturday saw his side beaten by Ireland in a major World Cup shock.

Woolmer, who has also coached South Africa and Warwickshire, was contracted to the Pakistan Cricket Board until the end of the tournament.

Woolmer was last in the news when Pakistan toured England last summer.

His side became the first in Test history to forfeit a match after they initially refused to take the field following an incident involving Australian umpire Darrell Hair.

Hair awarded England five penalty runs after deeming Pakistan guilty of ball tampering during the match at the Oval.

Inzamam-ul-Haq's side continued the game at first but later refused to continue with the game.
