West Indies bus hit by stones after match

DHAKA, Bangladesh:

A BUS carrying the West Indies cricket team was hit by stones as it left Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Friday after the side easily beat Bangladesh in a group match at the World Cup.

West Indies media manager Philip Spooner told The Associated Press that seven stones hit the right side of the bus, with two of them cracking windows, as it left the stadium in the Dhaka suburb of Mirpur.

"Two stones hit the windows on the right side of the bus but they did not smash or throw glass into the bus,'' Spooner said. "Everyone is safe and back at the hotel. No one is hurt."

Spooner added that West Indies team manager Richie Richardson would be talking to the West Indies Cricket Board and asking it to take the matter to the International Cricket Council for investigation.
