Thankfully I wasn&#39;t in the room as the glass on the windows broke and hit the wall on the opposite side.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>14 died including the bomber himself who detonated an explosive inside a car in front of the neighbouring Sheraton hotel. The series was abandoned after that and the Kiwis left for home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We were just about to leave for the ground when the incident took place,&quot; said Inzamam. &quot;Players were mostly leaving for breakfast. I heard something but couldn&#39;t understand what had happened. All the curtains and window panes had broken. I asked a guard and he told me there was a bomb blast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I was asked to go to the basement and there I saw all the New Zealand players in the swimming pool and they were all crying. These players had never experienced something like this back home.&quot;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
