The Pakistan squad have revealed their frustration at being 'kept in the dark' over developments in the investigation into Bob Woolmer's murder.
The team have continued their brief stay in London today at a Holiday Inn just off the M4, ahead of their planned flight home to Lahore tomorrow.
Rumours continue to abound about the circumstances surrounding the former coach's killing at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica eight days ago.
Jamaican police are currently studying CCTV footage from the hotel in a bid to identify potential suspects.
But team spokesman Pervez Mir was today scathing about the lack of communication between those conducting the investigation in the Caribbean and the team's management.
He said: 'We assisted in whatever way they (the Jamaican police) wanted, but we need an official statement from their office, to notify us officially as to what were the causes of Mr Woolmer's death, because we heard on TV that he was murdered, but we've not been officially told, and we need to know the reasons for his death.'
Mir said he had left a message on the phone of investigating officer Mark Shields last night 'because my chairman wants to know, my board wants to know, what's going on as far as the investigation is concerned, and what the Jamaican police are doing to catch the killers of Mr Woolmer.'
Mir also rejected rumoured links between Woolmer's death and match-fixing.
'When a man has been murdered, to divert a murder inquiry into a match-fixing inquiry, that's not fair, because we have to find the killers, then we will know what's happened.
'To bring up the murky world of match-fixing, I think it's not the right thing, and not the right time.'
He also dismissed suggestions that relations between Woolmer and Pakistan captain Inzamam ul-Haq had been 'strained'. 'The relationship between the two was wonderful,' he said.
'There will be a video released showing how good he (Woolmer) was with the boys.'
Mir added: 'He was more than a coach - he was more like a father figure. He used to help the boys, and now that he's not here to defend himself, I think it's unfair that there's an unjust media trial.'
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Nasim Ashraf today also revealed he received an email from Woolmer in the hours before his murder confirming his retirement from international cricket coaching.
Woolmer had decided to stand down after Pakistan were eliminated from the World Cup following a shock defeat to Ireland.
Ashraf told Sky News: 'It was the email of a man who had been deeply hurt. He said that the boys gave it their best to the last minute.
'In that email he had shared some of his thoughts, he told me he was hanging up his boots and retiring from international coaching. However he told me he would continue to be involved in cricket at the grassroots level.'
Ashraf also revealed Woolmer's email contained recommendations, which he had mentioned to the PCB previously, as to how the sport could move forward in Pakistan.
'He was not going to do international work any more. At the end he had some suggestions for Pakistan cricket that are valid and he has shared with those in the team before,' he added.
