Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

The face of the team are the people who're playing on the cricket field. The team is not about one individual.

Try and understand: cricket was played by Commonwealth countries only; now it has started in other countries as well, and I am proud of that.

But eventually it is a game of cricket.

I have played cricket on my own terms.

Cricket is very simple... you play till you can sustain.

The West Indians and Pakistanis play one-day cricket so well because they play for English counties.

To me, cricket is a simple game. Keep it simple and just go out and play.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.
