Want to play hard cricket: Giles

England and Wales Cricket Board's managing director of cricket, Ashley Giles wants his side to play hard cricket on the field and be the 'most respected' among fans for their conduct off the field. "We still want people to play cricket hard. We don't want bland cricket played out on the field. But as much as I want us to be the best team in the world, I also want us to be the most respected team in the world over how we go about things. That is going to be challenged. There are going to be things that pop up that would go against that, but it is part of my role to manage that," ICC quoted Giles, as saying on Sunday. "The process in my role of consistently challenging and checking what we are doing and what the dressing room is doing is important. I can't do it on my own. I am not going to be in a tracksuit on the ground. We have some very good people in there I need to rely on and tap into. Again, how we play and how we are viewed outwardly is important, but also really important to me is how we are seen and respected," Giles added.
