During the time I didn't play for England, they were losing Test matches, and the Yorkshire committee were telling me that I should be batting for my country.

For a spinner growing up in England, it is challenging to become an off-spinner. The line and length needs to be altered on each of the four days of county cricket or five days of Test matches. The pitches in England don't have a set pattern. It changes with each day, and accordingly, the length varies.

I've played in Test matches before after injury without first playing a county game or warm-up of some sort.
