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.
PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) is doing an unbelievable job in trying to resurrect international cricket. I just hope the World XI tour goes ahead and that will almost be the curtain raiser to, hopefully, get some international cricket back.
From a small age, we used to play a lot of school cricket: 30-35 games in a year in school cricket, then Under-16 games.
I totally enjoyed playing in Australia. I think they play very tough cricket, and the brand of cricket they play is very strong.

I play cricket with passion. I just want to win games for the country.
If you are going to raise youngsters for Test cricket that don't have the experience, you can't stick them into T20. You've got to teach them first how to play Test cricket, and when they're good enough for Test cricket and if they want to play both formats, then they can.
I just want to keep playing good cricket and winning games of cricket.
In international cricket, the atmosphere changes, and the interest level is higher, but for a cricketer, it is still a game he has to play.
Cricket is not like a government job where retirement age is fixed at A cricketer can retire at 30 or 60; it's up to the player.
