Pakistan's cricket program has been reeling since Saturday's loss.

"The fact of the matter is that Pakistan's cricket is at the crossroads," said chief selector Wasim Bari, a former wicketkeeper for Pakistan.

Former Pakistan bowlers Iqbal Qasim and Ehteshamuddin were the other members of the selection committee who also tendered their resignations.

"We had decided soon after the debacle against Ireland that we are going to resign," Bari said. "After talking with Ashraf last night, we had submitted our resignations to the PCB."

Meanwhile, the Pakistani players dedicated themselves to winning their final match for Woolmer.

Inzamam-ul-Haq, who announced his resignation as captain and retirement from one-day cricket following Woolmer's death, said the team owed Woolmer a victory.

"We'll do our best for Bob, but whatever we do, it won't be enough," the 37-year-old batsman said. "He was a good man. Whenever any of the boys had a problem, he'd sit with them, and we were very attached to him.

"He was a very good coach and human being. Because of this, he had a lot of respect from the team. He was brave and knew how to handle the situation when everybody was feeling down. He will be well remembered."
