Pakistan arrived in Dubai to play England

By Watch Live Cricket on Monday, 15th February 2010

Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said it was time to draw a line under his side’s disastrous recent tour of Australia – in which his team lost three Tests, five One-Day Internationals and a Twenty20 International (T20I) against the hosts.

Pakistan now arrived in Dubai to face England on Friday and Saturday in the T20I. “We didn’t play well but it’s history now,” said Malik, who has taken over the T20I captaincy from Shahid Afridi, suspended from Friday’s match as he serves the second game of a two-match ban for ball tampering.

“When you lose things always come up but you always learn from your mistakes, we’ve had meetings and talked about what we did in Australia and we’ve learnt from our mistakes.”

Malik said that prior to travelling with the squad he appeared before a committee set up in Pakistan to examine why the side failed on its recent tour. “I’ve answered all those questions,” he said. “I went to the six-member committee yesterday (on Saturday) and I gave them what I had to.”

“Whatever’s happened is for the betterment of Pakistan cricket and I’m sure it will help the Pakistan team and players. But that is history now, we’re looking forward to these two matches and I just want to concentrate on my cricket now,” he added.
