I've played a lot more red-ball cricket than I have white-ball cricket.

From an England point of view they have put money into white-ball cricket because our performances in World Cups has not been good enough, I understand the reasons for that. But we have to be careful not to go too one-day, we have to find a balance because there is such a legacy of Test cricket in this country and we can't lose that.

One-day cricket and T20s have vastly different identities and one cannot look at it through the mere lens of 'white-ball cricket.'

Ravi Shastri

Whenever you see Indian first class cricket on television, you see only a white wicket in a four-day game. And you have after five overs your spinners bowling from both ends on all four days. So how can you improve your cricket or your fast bowlers?

Wasim Akram

I never thought along the lines of red ball or white ball cricket. I just go and enjoy my game.

In white-ball cricket, things are different - over there, you outsmart the batsman, and over here in Test cricket, it's all about patience and consistency.

Jasprit Bumrah

When Test cricket is good, it's amazing, the best, even if it is more taxing on the body and is a lot more mentally taxing.

In white-ball cricket the conditions do vary, but throughout Tests it varies a lot more in a five-day game, and home advantage becomes more prevalent in Test cricket.

Joe Root

Part of the reason I fell in love with cricket was watching fast bowlers. They provide a sense of theatre with dramatic, ferocious spells and that applies as much in one-day cricket as in Tests.

James Anderson

Opening the batting in Test cricket, facing up to fast bowlers looking to do their worst with a new, hard ball is incredibly tough. You have to be brave, single-minded and prepared to work very, very hard.

Jonathan Agnew

I've always felt that when I've been successful in red-ball cricket it has been because I've left the ball well and sometimes in cricket the shots you don't play are more important than the ones you do.

Jos Buttler

I would love to win a trophy for South Africa in white ball cricket.

Dale Steyn

In bowlers' meetings we talk a lot about patience here in India. You need that more than anywhere in the world. Outfields are fast, pitches are slow, the ball gets soft. Bowlers are more crucial than batters.

Jofra Archer

Ball-tampering has happened before. Bowlers and fielders have found different ways to get the ball roughened up on one side.
