Pakistani players have strongly demanded that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) take action against the Jamaican investigators probing the death of coach Bob Woolmer, as they think the probe tarnished their image.

There is a talk of filing for damages against the Jamaican Police and pathologist Ere Seshaiah who concluded after a post mortem that Woolmer's death was due to "asphyxiation as a result of manual strangulation," a source in the PCB said.

"Some of the players remain adamant that once it is confirmed their coach died of a heart attack, the Board should do something to undo the bad name and suspicion cast on them because of Woolmer's death," he said.

A senior player, without wanting to be identified, alleged that poor handling of the case by Jamaican police resulted in him and his teammates having to face suspicious questions even as media filed speculative stories about them.

"It is their fault. How can they have blundered so badly? Our Board must do something to rectify things," he said.

Some of the senior players in the World Cup -- including captain Inzamamul Haq, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Shahid Afridi -accused Jamaican police of treating them like criminals and mishandling the wholeinvestigation.
