Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq hopes that his side's series win over England will help restore the tarnished reputation of Pakistani cricket.
A 72-run victory in the second Test in Abu Dhabi earlier this week secured Pakistan an unassailable 2-0 series lead of the world's number one-ranked side.
Misbah is hopeful that performances such as these will go some way to restoring the respect lost for Pakistani cricket following the spot-betting scandal.
"I think the whole world should acknowledge and accept that Pakistan cricket is coming up, the way our players are performing and they should accept it. Such negative things can happen anywhere and we must forget them," he said.
"We have put everything behind us. I think whichever team is doing well it should be accepted, our team deserves that and with the self-confidence we have, we can do better."
The 37-year-old has made 31 Test appearances for Pakistan since his debut in 2001.
