Graeme Swann insists that England have "moved on" from the Pakistan spot-fixing scandal.

England bowler Graeme Swann has insisted that there is no "bad blood" between England and Pakistan in light of the spot-fixing convictions.

England's victory over Pakistan in last summer's Test series was marred by the corruption allegations, which resulted in former Pakistan captain Salman Butt, along with bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, being jailed for partaking in a cheating scandal.

"Any bad blood between the two teams was drawn in that series and was soon put to bed," Swann told Sky Sports News. "We've had 12 months of cricket since then.

"I know the England team have moved on and I'm sure the Pakistan team have as well so I'm not expecting any bad blood.

"They've had a lot of things going on. They've got a new young team and they're playing some exciting new cricket. They beat Sri Lanka in Dubai last week so they're going to be a very tough opponent."

Reports have claimed that the ICC are investigating other cricketers potentially involved in corruption.
