Crisis-hit Pakistan face tough South Africa test.

Question

What are the crisis that Pakistani team facing in series against South Africa? Will they affect the performance of the team?

Answer 1

Pakistan will hope to put a series of on- and off-field problems behind them and build under new captain Misbah-ul-Haq when they play the first Test against South Africa starting here on Friday. Pakistan's last Test against England at Lord's in August has been a subject of separate inquiries from Scotland Yard and the International Cricket Council (ICC) after a British newspaper report claimed several of its players accepted money from match-fixers. "You always learn with time and experiences," said Misbah, who will be Pakistan's fourth Test captain this year behind Mohammad Yousuf, Afridi and Salman. "We want to put all the problems behind us and give our best against South Africa."
