“Every player needs to be aware of the levels of fitness needed to play...” — Nasser Hussain Quote

“Every player needs to be aware of the levels of fitness needed to play international cricket.”

“From the age of eight until 15 or 16, every time I was out bowling leg spin I was thinking about my dad and when you've done that it stays with you. There are lots of things he did which enabled me to be the player that I was. It wasn't me that wanted to be a cricketer. He made me 90 per cent of the player I was and the person I was.”

“I always used the media - if people were having a go I could use it as motivation to prove them wrong.”

“One of my key mental fitness tips is to make sure you are aware of your target and develop a strategy - a routine that you can depend on while in the race. This is a crucial part of mental fitness and preparation.”

“I keep challenging my body and changing the workouts. I also read up on fitness to keep abreast of all the new things people are doing, and I incorporate these into my workout.”

“Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.”
