Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Shahryar Khan has encouraged the players to focus on the game by keeping all the negative agendas aside.
He also said that portraying positive image of Pakistan on foreign land is everyone’s responsibility for which the boys have to play with unity and strategy.
Shaharyar Khan also advised the players to play without any stress and win the series.
The first Test between Pakistan and England would be started at 3:00 pm (PST) at Lord’s.
Six years ago, during a Lord s Test against England, Amir and Pakistan new-ball partner Mohammad Asif deliberately bowled no-balls on the instructions of captain Salman Butt as part of a sting operation carried out by a tabloid newspaper.
All three received five-year bans from cricket and, together with sports agent Mazhar Majeed, jail terms.
Such was the impact of the controversy, the fact teenage sensation Amir took six for 84 in the first innings of that match has largely been forgotten.
