I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

Isn't cricket supposed to be a team sport? I feel people should decide first whether cricket is a team game or an individual sport.

It doesn't always happen according to the way you have planned things out but I feel if you have covered most of the aspects, it does help out there in the middle.

My point of view is that when I am playing cricket I cannot think that this game is less or more important.

Shoaib Akhtar has been playing for 5, 6 years and is an experienced bowler.

When I was 15, I started playing first class cricket and always dreamt of being a Test cricketer, wanted to do something for the country, married in 1995, have 2 kids it's been great.
