Like cricket has their 'A' team that plays against other international 'A' teams and get exposure. Hockey should also have a similar development squad, which can play in non-premium international tournament, while the national team plays in bigger meets. This way, we will have players ready with international exposure.

Sandeep Singh

Lot of people think I have played international cricket for 13 years, but I started at six years of age, so it is 28 years of cricket.

Michael Clarke

It's something I'd never wish anybody to have to go through, having a mother pass away at a young age. But it's made me realize that people need help.

Freddie Freeman

We need to be prepared to have multi-stakeholder, well-managed partnerships. That can be very effective. We saw this happen at international level with the UN Convention on Landmines, for example, where some governments didn't want to go forward, but enough governments did and with them many NGOs. At international level we need to see this as the 21st century way of doing things.

Mary Robinson

I was attracted to cricket at a very young age. My father's elder brother Akram Siddiq saw the passion for cricket in me, so he pushed me, and then another uncle - father of Kamran, Umar, and Adnan Akmal - advised my father to work hard on me, as he thought that I will make it big in cricket.

Babar Azam

Physically helping me with advice and direction and a job was Richard Petty. He did a lot for me at a young age, when I needed help and direction.

Michael Waltrip

At the international level, one has to keep working hard and develop new skills. International cricket is all about improving yourself.

Suresh Raina

I think when you are playing at the international level, there is so much television exposure that people are looking at your weaknesses and strengths, and you need to fox them at times. You have got to do something different.

Mohammad Azharuddin

My dad did show me interesting movies at a young age. I remember he showed me 'A Clockwork Orange,' and my mom said, 'I never want to see this movie in my house again.'

Jonathan Krisel

It is nice that we finished the game today. At the end we finished the series with a convincing victory against Bangladesh. We came here without some key players but I must say our young players showed a lot of characters in the series which will help Sri Lanka cricket in the future.

Mahela Jayawardene

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.

Mickey Arthur

I feel British but my dad still has a filthy Scottish accent so I'm hearing that a lot... but the Davis Cup did help my exposure and my experience, so it was great for me.

Cameron Norrie

The International Cricket Calender shouldn't be so packed with action that it drives spectators away. Also there should be enough space between cricket events to help players recharge their batteries - not just physically but mentally too.

Sachin Tendulkar

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.
