I loved playing at Lord's - I ended up with 26 wickets at 11.50 from three Tests there. Maybe the wicket, because of the slope, was perfect for my style of bowling.
When my ban was relaxed I began playing club cricket. Imagine, for a person who had played at Lord's, to play with a club team who didn't have proper kit against another club team in Lahore.
Get picked for an Ashes Test at Lord's and you know you're going to meet the Queen. She arrived before the start of our game against Australia in 2013 and we lined up for inspection like the household cavalry on Horse Guards Parade.
Lord's is a special place. I used to love watching games there as a youngster and I've been fortunate enough to play a couple of games there.
In the 1950s, when we went to Lord's, you had to sit down, and it was very prim and proper. It was only in the 1960s when we started to do well that West Indians started voicing their opinions.
England's full of cricket tradition. I follow the game there hugely.
The shot of Kapil Dev kissing the World Cup and hordes of Indian fans all over at Lord's is etched in my memory. Every Indian is proud of that victory, and every Indian player who has played the World Cup after that '83 win wants to bring the Cup home.
I heard a lot about Ian Botham's Ashes, in 1981. Everybody still talks about his performance.
I love playing England. The teas at Lord's are good quality.
Lord's is such a special place and to get my first and now my 500th wickets here is something that will live with me for a long time.
Believe it or not, cricket was my first love. I would genuinely have swapped the dream of a winning goal at Wembley for a century against the Australians at Lord's.
Playing cricket in England is what I am looking forward to, and I would love to bowl at Lord's again.
The best thing about Lord's isn't the slope, it's just being there.
