I love cricket and I have no intention to retire
I want to improve cricket at the district level because lot of hardworking players come from districts. We have produced so many great players, but now we don't have players in the Indian team. My intention is to work hard for the game of cricket.
There are fans of Twenty20 cricket, and we need to ensure that we give them the cricket they want to see. We need to keep Test cricket alive, because there is a section of fans who love and worship Test cricket and have basically helped this game grow, and they are as important as anybody else.
Caregiving requires the intention of love, caretaking requires the intention of fear. Not acting in anger when you are angry requires the intention of love.
In one sense, what happens for me outside of cricket gives me that break - the farming means I have a really different life outside of cricket; it's not just cricket, cricket, cricket for 12 months of the year.
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.
As cricketers we're judged on the average we have from being a 21-year-old who's just come into international cricket to the day you retire.
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.
People say, 'Oh, so you should retire.' Yeah, you want me to retire so you won't get knocked out. I won't retire.
I would call myself a cricket nuffie. I love watching cricket. But I've found other things in my life.
Retire? Retire from What? Life? I will only retire when I am dead!
I love to play Test cricket; it's the main cricket.
Intention is power. Intention is ownership. Intention is commitment. Intention is magic.
I suppose you retire from trying. If you retire from trying, you think, "Maybe love will just come my way if I don't want it anymore."
I needed to step back from cricket, international cricket in particular, to get away from the scrutiny and intensity. I love it but it was too much for me.
I want to retire at 50. I want to play cricket in the summer and geriatric football in the winter, and sing in the choir.
Why do I need succession planning? I'm very alert, I'm very vibrant. I have no intention to retire.
