I grew up at a time when West Indies dominated the world. For 15 years from 1980, the West Indies never lost a Test series.
When I played cricket for the West Indies, I never worried. I never really watched anyone else. I had a job to do, and I tried to do it to the best of my ability.
In sport, there is always room for improvement. Whenever I see my innings against the West Indies or Australia, I think, 'Maybe, I could have done this better or should have changed that.' See, cricket is a skill game, and one can always improve upon the impact one has on an innings.
Cricket is my life and it has been since the age of five so the first opportunity I get, I'll be back playing for West Indies.

I know the history of West Indies cricket and I know what it means to the people.
How can you disrespect the West Indies when we were so dominant in world cricket for so long? We have to face it ourselves because our own board don't defend us.
I have some goals I'm looking to achieve, and one thing is to help the team win and move back up the ladder. This is vitally important to the team overall and to the supporters of West Indies cricket.
It is always honour to captain the West Indies.
I loved every minute of my 17-year career, all the Test matches, the ODIs and the World Cups. The only disappointment, if you ask me, was I never won a World Cup for West Indies.
I am thankful that I played the game at a time when the West Indies climbed to heights that have never been repeated.
