Strauss eager to conquer Asia 'frontier'

England captain Andrew Strauss believes only by succeeding away to Pakistan and Sri Lanka will his side convince the whole of world cricket they deserve their number one Test ranking.

Last year England completed a 3-1 Ashes series win in Australia, all their victories coming by innings margins, before returning home to depose India from the summit of the International Cricket Council's Test standings in a crushing 4-0 whitewash.

However, it is more than 10 years since England last won Test series in the subcontinent, with Nasser Hussain leading the team to 2-1 and 1-0 win victories away to Pakistan (2000/01) and Sri Lanka (2001) respectively.

But their upcoming tours offer a chance to improve that record, even though their three Tests against Misbah-ul-Haq's improving Pakistan will be played in the United Arab Emirates.
