I was playing cricket first and my cricket coach was the one that introduced me to track and field.
I think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.
It is that cricket field that, in all the sharp and bitter moments of life as they come to me now, gives me a sense of wholesome proportion: 'At least I am not playing cricket!
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.
Cricket has a stigma of old men in white clothes playing cricket but readdressing that image to people who aren't necessarily cricket lovers may go some way to making it cooler.
The more cricket you play in your head, the less you perform on the field. So let cricket, the sport, be on the field.
I was a coach for a celebrity cricket league. Whenever I trained or practised with them, I missed cricket.
That happens on a cricket field. People have a go at each other. That's fair, that's fine. It's called Test cricket. It's not a day in the park.
My priority is cricket. Everything that I get apart from it is a result of the effort on the field. Everything else follows. I am pretty aware of my priorities, and I don't really focus on things that are not as important to me as cricket.
I just want to keep playing good cricket and winning games of cricket.
I've been to a lot of places to play cricket, but cricket and training get in the way! In India, all you see is the hotel and the cricket ground.
Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.
It's important to make sure your players have the mindset that playing international cricket is still the ultimate form of cricket.
Since my childhood, I saw my elder brothers playing cricket and that is what built my passion around it. I was enrolled in school but all my attention was on cricket.
I don't study cricket too much. Whatever I have learned or experienced is through cricket I've played on the field, and whatever little I have watched.
I see a tough time for our cricket. Senior players will establish records and go home, but our cricket will struggle. Young players aren't playing with the freedom that they should enjoy. The selectors and the cricket board should take responsibility for that.
