The World Motivation
I am happy that I am getting a chance to play for Hampshire, because wherever I play, at the end of the day, I am recognized as a Pakistani, and if I do well, it is Pakistan cricket that gets a good name.

You can really put yourself out there in front of the world, make a name for yourself in international cricket.
If the captain stands still and looks clueless, then it spreads to the whole team.
The Indian media has a very negative approach and very negative thoughts.
As a captain, I am concerned about my team and how I perform. I have hopes from my own self and very high hopes from my team members.
When I came back into the side in 2009 I had to play more aggressively, and did. But I should never have played 127 times for England in one day cricket.
What I'd really like to give a try is cricket, because I grew up playing American baseball.
Test cricket should be No. 1 for every cricketer.
Test cricket tests you physically and skill-wise, but also mentally. And you have to be solid on all three to do well.
What my endeavour is to see a happy Indian team playing cricket.
