Shahid Afridi

I have played with seriousness and in a professional way for my country.

As long as you are winning, everything is fine, and you lose a game, and all hell breaks loose. That is grossly unfair. We should not overlook someone's past achievements just because he is going through a bad patch.

I don't want to talk about the past. I don't live in past.

I have never run after the captaincy in my entire career. It is something for the cricket board to decide.

There are cricket-loving people here, much like in Pakistan. Overall, I've enjoyed a lot playing in India in my cricketing career.

I admire Indian cricket because of the way the sport is run there and how the money they earn is invested back into the game and players.

Every team knows its strength.

My main strength is my bowling, but where I bat, I can also contribute for the team, and that is important.

I am not one to run away from challenges, as I am a fighter, and I will come back.

I don't think any bowler can trouble me much.

Obviously, I want to do well in the Champions Trophy, which is like a mini World Cup with all top teams participating.

There is no team in the world that doesn't tamper with the ball.
