Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq insists that his squad will not be affected by the spot-fixing scandal when they return to England this summer.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has insisted that his players will not be affected by the spot-fixing scandal when they return to England this summer.

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were found guilty of spot-fixing during the final Test against England at Lord's in 2010 and were jailed a year later.

Misbah, who will lead Pakistan in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in England, has said that the squad is determined to improve the country's reputation.

"I don't think the scandal will haunt us and we are now mentally prepared to play in England for the first time since the incident," Misbah told Sky Sports News.

"It has been three years since the scandal and the players have made a conscious effort to project a positive image of Pakistan cricket with positive results. There is more discipline and unity in the team.

"We see the Champions Trophy as an ideal opportunity to redeem ourselves in the eyes of our supporters in England because there is a big Asian community there."

Pakistan will begin their Champions Trophy campaign against West Indies on June 7.
