My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

Every individual has his own style, his own way of presenting himself on and off the field.

I feel it's the conscious mind that messes things up. The conscious mind is constantly telling you, this might happen or that might happen, even before it has happened. Your conscious mind tells you the next ball might be a out-swinger, but when it's coming at you you realize it's an in-swinger... so literally, you've played two balls.

It really doesn't matter honestly to look at the scoreboard where it's 20 runs and 2 wickets down or 200 runs, 2 wickets down, because... if you're positive inside it really doesn't matter. It just requires different planning sometimes.

I am a sportsman and not a politician. I am a sportsman and will always remain one. I am not going to enter politics giving up cricket, which is my life. I will continue to play cricket.

Before coming here I had a minor back problem and I thought whenever I play Pakistan I get a back problem.

My life, between 22 yards for 24 years... It's hard to imagine that this is coming to an end.
