If you're playing Test cricket you could bowl 20 overs in a day. I could play about five T20s in that space.
It is my hope that Babar Azam will become a bigger player like Virat Kohli.
When I was aspiring to play for India, I'd look at the Ricky Pontings and the Matthew Haydens and think they were very intimidating.
There are cricket-loving people here, much like in Pakistan. Overall, I've enjoyed a lot playing in India in my cricketing career.
I am obsessed with cricket. But to be honest, I prefer the IPL format to test matches.
India may be the soul of world cricket, but IPL is its commercial heart. Just as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' changed the ground rules for quiz shows by injecting a massive dose of money into the equation, IPL has changed the dynamics of the cricket economy.
When I grew up, my father used to say that cricket is not a profession, cricket cannot bring you food. But I think he lived to see the day when I was actually paid.
It's something that I've wanted to do for a while, play Big Bash. Unfortunately representing the Proteas for the bulk of my career over Christmas time we've always got Test matches on, the Boxing Day and New Year's Test matches. So I haven't been available.
Batsmen like Gary Kirsten, Boeta Dippenaar and Neil McKenzie have good techniques and can bat for long periods.
I have played 20 years of international cricket for Pakistan and not the PCB.
I'm looking forward to the new challenge that playing T20 cricket in England will bring.
I never thought I'd be a senior player in a county side, let alone the England side. When you break into a county side, that is your aim, so it's an incredible feeling to have achieved that with England.
I think I have the ability and can play a role in T20 cricket for South Africa.
I'll definitely play cricket again, but only socially. I've still got a lot of friends at my local team, Green Mount, and I do miss playing, but I don't regret anything.
The IPL is just pure, intense. You don't need all the other stuff. I don't believe in coaches in international cricket.
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.
If a player is playing IPL and earning money, it's not his fault that he's not playing for India. He is not quitting. He is playing first-class, one-day cricket and IPL. If selectors don't pick him, what can he do?
I want to play Test cricket until I die, seriously.
Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.
IPL is good for limelight and making money.
Personally, I don't think IPL is very tough.
With just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.
Playing Australia, of course, is always challenging.
It's good to draw spectators to the grounds, but I don't think Twenty20 will help you produce good Test cricketers.
I want to play 100 Test matches for England.
