London, June 15: Pakistan cricket captain Rashid Latif today called on his side's supporters to behave during the forthcoming one-day international series against England. Crowd trouble marred the triangular series with England and Australia two years ago, and fears of a repeat were heightened yesterday when hundreds of fans jumped the fences and dodged stewards to reach the square following the five-wicket win over Leicestershire at Grace Road. "This is very bad for cricket, I think, especially in Pakistan and England with the Pakistani crowd," said Latif.
"They love us and follow Pakistan cricket all over the world but it is not good for the cricket and I do not support that kind of thing,” said Latif.
"I respect the crowd and not all the crowd were bad, but a few guys got on the pitch and this is no good for the safety of the players and it affects the cricket," he said. "The situation in Pakistan is bad all the time but now the whole world will be watching the television and it would not be good to happen here," added the captain. Bureau Report
