One is actually the democracy here, you know, people are, people assume that this election means that there is democracy in Pakistan. There is no democracy.

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

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

At the moment we have a ruling class that has one law and the people the other.

If your house is burning, wouldn't you try and put out the fire?

What I perceive, is above all justice, where everyone has the same law.

But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money.

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

And when the pressure was on us, the team handled it very well. One has to learn to play well under pressure.
