The International Cricket Council has said it would probe if corruption played any part in Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer's murder and dismissed speculation that the ongoing World Cup would be discontinued.ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed made the announcement in a joint press conference after the Jamaican Police declared that Woolmer had been strangled to death in his hotel room on Sunday."We felt shock, outrage and great sadness for Bob's family. There has been speculation that as a result of all these, the World Cup would be discontunued. But that will not be the case," Speed said."We won't be put off by this cowardly, criminal act. This is not the first time that tragedy has visited a sporting event. So what we must do now is to show how resolute the game is by proving ourselves strong enough to move on from what happened," he added.Speed said ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) would help the Jamaican Police in its probe."Lord Paul Congdon, who heads ACU, would also investigate if corruption played any part behind the tragic death."Police spokesman Karl Angell said Jamaican Police had already got in touch with ACU.Chris Dehring, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the World Cup 2007, also assured the teams that there was adequate security measure to successfully host the event."We have reviewed the security arrangement in place and we feel that is adequate," he said.
