"The government representatives have done their job surely meticulously. We know how well they did it before the Pakistan tour," Wright told newspersons before leaving the team hotel for the airport this morning.
While declining to comment on the death threat issue, the coach said the government representatives, who under the current circumstances were a part lay in the Tests, the coach said "we will field the strongest side".
