Talking to media yesterday after the conclusion of the team's week-long training session in eastern city Lahore, Misbah said Pakistan would have an advantage in the series against England, ranked No 1. The two teams will also play four ODIs and three Twenty20s after the Test series.
"We know the conditions in the UAE as we have played a lot of cricket there so we have become used to the venues so that will definitely be an advantage for us," Misbah said.
While replying to the criticism over his defensive style of batting and captaincy Misbah defended his strategy and said: "It is better to win by playing defensively, instead of losing by playing aggressively. It's all about the situation; what you are required to do or not do."
