England coach Andy Flower yesterday said cricket "will survive" the spot-fixing row engulfing the Pakistan team.

England play the first of two T20 internationals against Pakistan at Sophia Gardens here on Sunday in what will be their first outing in the format since winning the World Twenty20 title in the Caribbean in May.

"No one wants that (spot-fixing) sort of news on the front or back page," Flower said, "But it'' a great game, people love playing it, people love watching it, that's why it will survive," the former Zimbabwe batsman added.
