ABU DHABI: Pakistan cricket team has arrived here in United Arab Emirates (UAE), meanwhile, manager national team Intikhab Alam has hoped that spot-fixing allegations would not influence performance of the players, Geo News reported. Players are positive and have the necessary potential to give a very tough time to world class South Africans, he said. Three Test, five ODIs and two T20I matches will be played during the Pakistan-turned UAE tour. First T20I, to be played on October 26, is meant for raising donations for flood-affectees. Talking to newsmen at Lahore airport, manager Intikhab Alam appeared hopeful of team’s commitment for victory on the tour.
