I will leave this shining life of cricket very soon. This bat and ball won't save Shahid Afridi in Grave

I love cricket and I have no intention to retire

Whenever you feel down, always remember that Almighty Allah has better plans for you.

I believe that a sportsman should be aggressive because that is what gives him or her the power to perform even in the toughest of situations.

I'm not very strong mentally, I'm straight forward.

I think the fitness of players is the key to success. I believe that there should be no place of unfit players in the team because the fit players also start becoming lazy seeing their routine. Having teamwork capabilities is also very important as there comes a lot of times where you have to think beyond your own interest to upkeep the national interest.

A lot of my family is in army and it has always been inspirational for me to see them wearing the prestigious uniforms and their disciplined lifestyle. If I wasn't so passionate about cricket, I would have definitely been a soldier for my country.
