It's a hard life as a professional cricketer. It's not as easy as everyone makes out. To survive you need a tough hide. ↗

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together. ↗

Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody. ↗
