Any spinner can change the game. It's been proven in T20 cricket.
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.
Traditional cricket has gone out of the window. It's gone. T20 cricket has changed the game.
I've played a lot of T20 cricket and know the game.
T20 is the vehicle to make cricket a truly global game.
You never know in T20 cricket. Anyone can have a day out and take the game away from you.
I enjoyed playing any type of cricket. Didn't matter what type it was because I did not want to change my game. My game was built on one type of cricket: if there was a ball to hit, you hit it, whether it was Test matches, whatever it was.
In T20, there's a time shortage because you've got four overs. In one-day cricket, you relax, and the game goes long, and you only win the game in the last 10 or 15 overs.
I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.
Twenty20 is must for cricket. Without T20, cricket cannot survive.
With Test cricket, it's very important that you are bowling at high speed but T20 cricket is a great way to be versatile.
It's not that I don't like cricket. I have played first class cricket and represented Delhi in the Ranji Trophy as a spinner, but at the same time my inclination to become an actor was very strong.
I don't think cricket is a game that people who have never played or been involved in understand the excitement. It's a game that is full of excitement, because cricket lovers follow the game and understand the basic principles and rules. They become connoisseurs of the game.
When you turn up at a ground, you expect the wicket to behave in a certain fashion and it doesn't. There are so many variables in this game. It becomes even more important when it comes to T20 cricket.
I think we are still on the lookout for a left-arm spinner who can at least be closer to what Neetu David has been for women's cricket.
I think what pace bowlers need to do in T20 cricket is not just run up and bowl fast. It's not about brute pace in T20, it's about the variation.
T20 in international cricket can almost be paid lip-service at times, with one game tagged on to the end of an ODI series or a long tour - sometimes it can feel like there is no point in playing it.
