“My senior school didn't play football. It was a rugby and cricket school, and as I was on a sports scholarship, I was forced to play rugby.”

“Versatility is an extra string to a player's bow.”

“People need to take as much interest in other sports as they take in cricket, and that's where we come across a vicious cycle of performance, sponsorship, recognition, jobs and TV visibility.

“I don't mind which wicket you play on - wet, dry, slow, or fast. I just want to play cricket.”

“Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.”
