I was a naughty kid. Teachers did not like me much.

Fast bowling is an art, like spin bowling.

Cricket has become more popular, not me... When the game grows, those who've played it also 'grow.'

It is always nice when you are honoured. The Lifetime award makes me feel old. I am only 55.

Selectors can't please everyone, but I am OK if they are working for the benefit of Indian cricket. It's an administrative decision to appoint a selection committee, and I would like to let them do their job.

I feel that World Cup cricket should be played like football in which all the 160 countries take part. If only a handful of countries are going to keep on playing in the World Cup without making the game popular, I will be a sad man.
