I will play with anyone for my country. I may have my personal preferences, but such preferences have never come in the way of playing for India.

I never thought that I would have to play an Indian, well half French, but an Indian woman in my life.

My best wishes are with Indian cricket in general. I wish each one of our cricketers success at the international and domestic level.

Given a chance, I would love to romance Tabu. I wouldn't mind doing a film with Manisha Koirala, either. Or Madhuri Dixit.

Luckily, I have been offered the chance to play a South American, Hispanic and even a character from the Middle East in films. There are also a lot of TV series in the U.S. that have a strong presence of actors from India.

I was lucky in my early years to play for a Karnataka team that was trying to forge itself into a strong side, and they were years of fun and learning. In the Indian team, I was fortunate to be part of a wonderful era when India played some of its finest cricket at home and abroad.

I don't want to go and play a cliched Indian girl.

I play for India, I play for the 100 million people of my country.

Selectors can't please everyone, but I am OK if they are working for the benefit of Indian cricket. It's an administrative decision to appoint a selection committee, and I would like to let them do their job.

I sincerely believe that Indians have the ability to compete with the best in the world.
