Missing Indian players worry Pak authorities

LAHORE: The security guys around the Indian cricket team pressed panic buttons on Saturday when three of its players left the hotel without any escorts, highly placed sources said on Sunday.

There was no mishap with the players concerned as the Pakistani security agents traced them after some time but they were unhappy with the incident.

The highly-guarded Pearl Continental hotel here had chaotic scenes on Saturday for about an hour when the incident took place. "We had requested the players not to venture out of their hotels without the double cover security. But they didn’t take any on Saturday," said one of the top security official accompanying the Indian team.

While two players were with a local cricketer friend at his home, the third was out shopping alone.
