England skipper Andrew Strauss is strong-minded to see that his players do not harbor any ill-feeling against Pakistan in the wake of spot-fixing scandal.
Several British players such as Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann have made their resentment public in the background of the spot-fixing scandal, in which three Pakistani cricketers were found guilty and sentence for varied terms.
Off-spinner Swann has exposed in his life story that England players required nothing to do with the Pakistan side (in 2010 tour) and that the situation was "vile."
Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad had said that they felt painful stay in the same hotel as Pakistan during the World Cup.
"Strauss himself has described dishonesty as a "cancer" in cricket, but will try to make sure his players remain listening carefully on beating Pakistan without distractions. He will hold a team conference at the start of the tour in the New Year and spell out the need to avoid any simmering rifts," a media report said.
A team insider said England will try to treat the series as "business as usual", the report in 'Sun' added.
England is listed to play three-Tests, four ODIs and three Twenty20 matches next to Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
