I wanted to bat for the England cricket team. I was quite good at cricket. But then I kept getting out for low scores. It turned out I didn't have the talent.

Michael McIntyre

I always wanted to play cricket, and I have played competitive cricket to a fairly good level. I remember that my father used to come and watch me play. He used to love watching me play.

If you look at cricket per se, if you didn't have T20 cricket, Test cricket will die. People don't realise. You just play Test cricket, and don't play one-day cricket and T20 cricket, and speak to me after 10 years. The economics will just not allow the game to survive.

I made my England debut when I was 17, against India. I was the first Asian to play for the England women's team, and I did have mixed feelings playing against the country my parents are from but I was born and bred in England and I've always known I wanted to play for my country.

Jos Buttler

When I was a kid I wanted to play in the First Division and I wanted to play for England. I achieved both those ambitions.

I like Tendulkar and I think the Indian batsmen are stylish but I support England and I have always wanted to play for England.

Isa Guha

I've been to a lot of places to play cricket, but cricket and training get in the way! In India, all you see is the hotel and the cricket ground.

Cricket is a sport girls can play and be successful in irrespective of their background.

Isa Guha

Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.

You wouldn't see those sorts of decisions given in village cricket, let alone Test cricket. The England players have my sympathy.

I first got into cricket by watching Test matches on TV and listening to overseas tours on the radio. The sport really grabbed me - and it didn't matter that England weren't hugely successful back then.
