Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you're not really sure if you're enjoying the ride.

To play for your country is the best thing that can happen.

I am a kid who played university cricket, so to be around international cricket is a blessing.

Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I've spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world.

I've done a reasonable amount of travelling, which I enjoyed, but not for too long at a time.

I'm thrilled of the acceptance I get abroad. The people are so hearty, warm and grateful and I feel privileged having seen so many countries and some of the greatest monuments.

I admire traveling; I appreciate it a lot.

I am hugely proud to have played for Ireland.

If you play the same club every week of every month, it's kind of boring. It's great that you can play one night in Brazil and one night in Japan, one night in Europe, and see the world. It's amazing what you see if you travel around the world.

It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.
