Black Caps reveal they were due to stay at attacked Islamabad hotel
Wed, 24 Sep 2008 6:06p.m.
In a chilling revelation, the Black Caps have revealed that they were due to stay at Islamabad's Marriott Hotel last weekend at the same time as a devastating bomb attack.
If the scheduled Champions Trophy in Pakistan had gone ahead, the Black Caps would have been at the hotel, the moment 53 people died.
"From all reports we were going to be at that hotel that weekend in the original draft of the Champions Trophy," Black Caps' Kyle Mills said. "There's so much relief that we didn't have to go through anything like that."
New Zealand, Australia, England and South Africa all pulled out of the Champions Trophy because of security fears.
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India were prepared to go ahead, but the International Cricket Committee put the event on hold.
