"It is unfortunate whenever someone tries to bring politics into sport." — Shahid Afridi

My game is such that I either succeed or fail. But I always hope to do something which is useful to the team at the start of the innings.

When rain is around, the team batting second gets a huge advantage.

I still say Pakistan and India should have normal bilateral relations in cricket and there should be regular exchanges between the two countries.

I admire Sachin Tendulkar for being one of the best role models for young cricketers, and no one in Pakistan even doubts his greatness, as his records speak for himself.
