I have some goals I'm looking to achieve, and one thing is to help the team win and move back up the ladder. This is vitally important to the team overall and to the supporters of West Indies cricket.

Fidel Edwards

My whole obligation was to West Indies cricket. As I have always said, I have never made a run for me. Records meant nothing. The team was important.

Garfield Sobers

While I am most at home in London, I cannot really label myself as either British or Trinidadian. I write in the English language and live in the U.K. I find it hard to say that I am an entirely British writer, especially when I supported Trinidad in the 2006 World Cup and also support the West Indies cricket team.

Monique Roffey

I am always committed to West Indies cricket.

Brian Lara

I grew up at a time when West Indies dominated the world. For 15 years from 1980, the West Indies never lost a Test series.

As a young kid in the beginning, I myself did not know that there was women's cricket in India or that there is an Indian women's cricket team.

Mithali Raj

My whole obligation was to West Indies cricket. As I have always said, 'I have never made a run for me.'

Garfield Sobers

Cricket is my life and it has been since the age of five so the first opportunity I get, I'll be back playing for West Indies.

Brian Lara

The problem with West Indies cricket is that the talent is there but there is no cohesion. Everybody's pulling in different directions; the players, the selectors, the management.

Viv Richards

Set goals that are well balanced-not too many nor too few, and not too high nor too low. Write down your attainable goals and work on them according to their importance. Pray for divine guidance in your goal setting.

M. Russell Ballard

It starts with myself. I have to believe in myself and set expectations for myself, set goals for myself, and continue to work for those goals every day.

Saquon Barkley

I really enjoyed the period in which I played my cricket. I can look back now and wish I started 10 years later and played in the T20s. But I also wish I was born 10 years earlier so that I could have been part of the all-conquering West Indies team of that time.

Brian Lara

I have never run after the captaincy in my entire career. It is something for the cricket board to decide.

Shahid Afridi

It has been a great honour to play for the West Indies, to hold a bat and to spend 17 years in international cricket. That is something I am proud of.

Brian Lara

I know the history of West Indies cricket and I know what it means to the people.

Brian Lara

When you set these high expectations and goals, and they are demolished so early in the season, that has an effect on the psyche. It wears you down.
