I have a lot to say about my confidence, my fears, my adversaries, my ambitions, my goals and failures.
Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris. Not to Indians. Not to Pakistanis.
Every child is a gift of Allah, and every child in Pakistan, to me, is like my own child, so I will do my best to take the message to every doorstep in Pakistan. Reaching every child, every time with the polio vaccine is not only necessary, but it is our duty. This disease can't deter us; we will defeat it.
I thank Allah that I have been playing for Pakistan for a long time. This is a big honour for me; I had not even thought so.
I just want to be given respect and dignity that every senior player deserves after serving the country for so many years.
Once I am out of the ground, I forget cricket or keep it away as far as possible, to lighten up.
Sachin is one of the best batsmen, and the whole world knows this. He does not need mine or anybody else's certificate. His records speak for him.
My relationship with Virat is not dictated by political situation. Virat is a fantastic human being and an ambassador of cricket for his country, just like I am for my country.
As long as you are winning, everything is fine, and you lose a game, and all hell breaks loose. That is grossly unfair. We should not overlook someone's past achievements just because he is going through a bad patch.
So many mouths can get fed, so many minds can be nourished, if India and Pakistan resolve the Kashmir issue through a Kashmiri-owned, Kashmiri-led peace process.
I am not one to run away from challenges, as I am a fighter, and I will come back.
I admire Sachin Tendulkar for being one of the best role models for young cricketers, and no one in Pakistan even doubts his greatness, as his records speak for himself.
I don't think, in international cricket, there is a need for coaching. The real coaching is to recognise your players' strengths and weaknesses. You always remain positive with your players.
Whether it is Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, or Inzamam ul-Haq, they will also say that they get a lot of respect here because cricket is literally worshiped in India.
Some rivalries were personal, some professional. First, the curious case of Gambhir. Oh, poor Gautam. He & his attitude problem. He who has no personality. He who is barely a character in the great scheme of cricket. He who has no great records, just a lot of attitude.
I think, in international cricket, your management is about motivating players.
When rain is around, the team batting second gets a huge advantage.
My main strength is my bowling, but where I bat, I can also contribute for the team, and that is important.
The media makes a big deal of small issues.
I would say T20 cricket has introduced a more positive attitude in players and led to Tests also being played more aggressively and being more result oriented.
