Former all-rounder in stadium when gunman struck
Former England all-rounder Dominic Cork has admitted his shock following the terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in Pakistan.
Former captain Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samaraweera, Ajantha Mendis, Tharanga Paranavitana and Kumar Sangakkara are reported to have been hurt after
terrorists attacked a convoy on the way to the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore ahead of the third day of the second Test against Pakistan.
The vehicle carrying umpires Simon Taufel and Steve Davies and match official Chris Broad, the father of England bowler Stuart, was also attacked.
And Cork, who was in the stadium to do commentary work for Pakistan TV, told
Sky Sports News: "The Sri Lankan players are quite shocked. They all fell to the floor of the team bus when the attack happened.
"Some of them have wounds but I think most of them are superficial wounds. I have spoken to (Kumar) Sangakkarra, he has a shrapnel wound in his right shoulder.
"The team are sitting in the changing room watching local TV. They are waiting for helicopters to arrive to take them to a local army base and wait for a connecting flight to Abu Dhabi."
Cork has also spoken to former England opener Broad after he was in one of the vehicles attacked by armed gunmen just 100 metres from the stadium in Lahore.
"He (Broad) said it was the most frightening experience of his life," said Cork.
"Their driver was shot and they had to ask a policeman to drive them to the stadium."
