If you are going to introduce cricket to other countries then I think T20 is the format with which to do it - it's a great entry level into the sport and easy to pick up.
T20 is the vehicle to make cricket a truly global game.
In my heart, international cricket is the way forward. That's where you want to play; that's where the pressure really lies. That's where you make your name.
When you sit down and focus on the matches and series that took place during the 12 month period it strikes you just how broad the talent pool is in international cricket is today.
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.
Cricket the world over, I don't think, will ever know how different things would be without Kerry Packer.
No cricket should be played for at least a month anywhere in the world after a World Cup.
Players like Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan, Warner, Glenn Maxwell were noticed at IPL first. It is a platform for players all over the world.
I've never been a massive advocate of international Twenty20 cricket except a World Cup every two or three years, because that gets the best players together.
I really believe that every game of international cricket should have some sort of meaning and some sort of context to it - so the World Test Championship, the World One-Day League are all really, really important opportunities to the game.
We should be far more flexible about the way we play our cricket away from home. We can't just presume that what works at home will work away. We need to be more flexible and creative both in the way we play and the way we select.
The thing about international cricket is that you never really get to know the guys you play against. The T20 leagues allow you to actually know an individual.
You have to see that cricket is developing as a sport because what's very important is you want cricket to be a global sport when it comes to participation.
People complain about too much T20. But the only recognised T20 in Europe is the Blast so if we are going to grow the game outside the U.K. it has to be everywhere.
A strong India is very, very important for world cricket.
There is a huge gap between international and domestic cricket. That gap needs to be lessened. Our domestic circuit needs to step up.
