I believed in myself. I never imagined myself as just an ordinary player.

I wanted to be an outstanding player, that was my ambition.

I have always believed that one should not be scared of losing, I think that really is the key.

During my 21 years of playing cricket, I have never been approached by anyone or offered a bribe.

A country that relies on aid? Death is better than that. It stops you from achieving your potential, just as colonialism did.

In most of Pakistan it is a feudal country. People are very scared and oppressed by authority. But when you move to these wilder areas, they are not so easily suppressed.
