Pakistan v England: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 determined to bring an end to match-fixing saga – Cricket News Update
Misbah-ul-Haq, skipper Pakistan cricket team, is determined to bring an end to the match-fixing saga once and for all. The leader of the Green Shirts is hoping that the up-coming Test series between Pakistan and England will be
free of controversies.
Misbah has urged players of both the teams to let bygones be bygones and not to think about what happened during Pakistan’s tour of England in 2010, when three cricketers from Pakistan, namely http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Asif-c1993 and Mohammad
Amir were found guilty of spot-fixing.
Optimistic about a new beginning, the 37-year-old said, “I think both teams know we just have to forget the past. Nobody is worried about what happened in the past; everybody is just focusing on the future and the present.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket team has moved on from the spot-fixing controversy and Misbah has a lot to do with the resurgence of the Men in Green in international cricket. The middle-order batsman has led the team well. His stats to date
show how effective his leadership skills are.
The 37-year-old asserts that his players are not anxious about what happened with the tainted cricketers. The Pakistani roster is gritty towards performing well and that’s what they have been doing for sometime maintains Misbah.
"It's not our area of concern. Our area of concern is to play good cricket, fair cricket - and that's what we can do. I think we are doing that. In a year and a half, our performances show that - the way we are behaving on the
field, the way we are conducting ourselves. It's true to say that is the example we are setting. I think we've proved we are doing it in a good way,” claims the Punjabi lad.
Misbah has captained Pakistan in 12 Test matches out of which they won six and suffered defeat in only one. The Green Shirts are yet to lose a Test series under him, but Misbah’s leadership skills will be put to Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013,
who are currently the number one Test team of the world.
The three match Test series between the two cricketing giants begins with a game at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, January 17.
