We want to focus on playing a positive and good series - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-Hasan-Khan-c77595
The interim coach of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 Khan has said that his team would be looking forward to a
‘fresh start’ when they take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 next month.
This will be the first time since the summer tour of England in 2010; best remembered for the spot-fixing scandal, that the two teams will be playing against each other in a bilateral series. Mohsin has ensured that the focus of the team will be on playing
“positive and good” cricket.
"We know the two teams will play for the first time since the spot-fixing scandal last year in England," said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 while speaking to media reporters on Tuesday.
"We have seen the negative comments in the British media. But we just want to focus on playing a positive and good series," he added further.
The last time these two nations squared up in the summer of 2010, the series was tarnished by the spot-fixing scandal that found three Pakistani cricketers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Amir-c76675, guilty.
A British tabloid broke the story after a sting operation, revealing evidence regarding foul-play during a Test match at Lord’s, which led the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption unit of handing lengthy bans to the implicated cricketers in February
this year. Last month they were sentenced to jail in a criminal court hearing at the Southwark Crown Court of London, after being found guilty of taking money.
Mohsin Khan replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, winning both the series.
He said that the focus during the upcoming tour would be to prove themselves via their performances.
"We want to prove ourselves with our performances that is all. The rest is history," said Mohsin, who was the chief selector PCB before taking over as the interim coach.
Pakistan start their home Test series against England in Dubai on January 17th, 2012, followed by a further two Tests, four One Day Internationals, and concluding the series by playing three T20Is.
