Teams to wear black armbands in Woolmer tribute

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Mar 19 (Reuters) World Cup teams will be asked to wear black armbands during their next matches as a mark of respect for Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer the International Cricket Council said in a statement.

India play Bermuda at Queen's Park Oval, Trinidad and hosts West Indies face Zimbabwe at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Monday.

Both venues will fly their flags at half-mast and there will be a minute's silence before the start of the games.

These measures will be repeated at Pakistan's final match in the tournament, against Zimbabwe, also at Sabina Park, on Wednesday.
