Authorities released photos of two suspects involved in the ambush on the visiting team's convoy Tuesday as players and match officials made their way to Lahore's cricket stadium, killing six police officers and a driver.

They also offered a 10 million rupee ($125,000) reward for information leading to arrests. Investigators cannot yet say who was behind the attack.

Sri Lanka's cricketers returned home to Colombo early Wednesday.

The worst injured were Tharanga Paranavitana and Thilan Samaraweera who suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and leg respectively. Neither man's injuries are believed to be life-threatening. Six other players were hurt by shrapnel and glass. Read profiles of the wounded players »

Sri Lankan vice-captain Kumar Sangakkara told CNN that Paranavitana and Samaraweera were due to undergo surgery later Wednesday. He said Samaraweera still had a bullet in his leg.

Describing the attack in an interview with CNN, Sri Lanka's coach Trevor Bayliss said he was thankful that none of his squad had been killed.

"The first indication was an explosion which someone said later was a rocket launcher that missed the bus and went over the top and hit somewhere in front of us," Bayliss said. Video Watch Bayliss describe the attack »

He said two cars then pulled up in front of the convoy, blocking its path. Gunmen jumped out of the cars and started firing, sending bullets ripping through the bus.

"By that stage everyone was one the ground... Surprisingly it was very calm. There was not a lot we could do except keep low as possible and hope for the best. Every now and then someone would just yell out and say 'I'm hit.'"
