I'm going to give international cricket one more crack. The Pakistan job seems like a perfect fit.
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.
International cricket and Test cricket in particular is hard and you are going to get injuries but, if you've got a strong pool of players to pick from who can all come in and do a job, well that can only be a good thing for English cricket.
I think it is time Pakistan has a cricket academy. In fact, they are thinking of having one; the sooner they have one the better it will be for Pakistan cricket.
I have played 20 years of international cricket for Pakistan and not the PCB.
The more 'A' side cricket that can be played, it will keep the fringe of international cricket interested.
As an international batsman, I have to come out to bat under any situation. Sometimes a platform has been laid; on others, we have to build one. That's part of our job, and that's why international cricket is so challenging.
You do not have time in international rugby to stop and think, 'This is tough.' It's more a case of, 'Let's crack on.' Where's your next job? Fill a hole for someone who has just made a tackle?
I think 'A' sides are extremely important, as close as you can get to international cricket. You are often playing against internationals from different countries and it definitely bridges the gap between our domestic game and international cricket.
Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.
There should be no cricket and Bollywood ties with Pakistan till Pakistan stops cross-border terrorism.
A perfect smile is too often missing from the faces of the world. If cricket can provide more smiles, it is doing its job.
Pakistan is a very emotional, cricket-loving nation and what Pakistan need is a street-fighter-type in charge of the team.
I am amused by cricket because it seems to take longer than baseball and I like that. It seems like a sport I could have made up it - it takes several days to play and everyone wears sweaters. I can't confess to knowing what's going on at all.
They're fanatics. It's like expecting humanity from a falling rock. It's not going to have a fit of compassion and not crack your skull open.
There is no ICC anymore. It is just BCCI. It is not International Cricket Council it is International Crime Council. If you take all the cricket board Presidents am sure they are all puppets. ICC is the toothless tiger.
As chief selector, I did my best to pick new talent and give them proper opportunities, as they are the future of Pakistan cricket.
