Eighteen members of India's Under-14 girls football team find themselves stuck in Nepal following a massive earthquake, amid anxious wait that the rescue team sent from their home country will fly them out of the devastated Himalayan nation.

The scared Indian girls and two support staff have decided to sleep outside their rooms at Hotel View Bhrikuti in Kathmandu for the fear of further aftershocks.

They were practicing in the stadium for the third-place play-off against Iran when the earthquake shook the venue and adjoining areas. The Indian team had earlier lost to hosts Nepal in the semifinals yesterday.
