I have fruit trees. Cows for fresh milk, yoghurt. My own wheat. I'm basically self-sufficient.
In Pakistan politics is hereditary.
The future of Indo-Pak cricket will depend on how the peace process goes.
The war on terror is the most insane and immoral war of all time. The Americans are doing what they did in Vietnam, bombing villages. But how can a civilised nation do this? How can you can eliminate suspects, their wives, their children, their families, their neighbours? How can you justify this?
Just give it everything you've got and bowl as fast as possible.
These so-called extremists in Pakistan should be brought into the mainstream; if you marginalize them, you radicalize them.
What I perceive, is above all justice, where everyone has the same law.
I do not have any fears, no fear of dying, of failure, of anything; that means I am very dangerous for my opponents.
A country that relies on aid? Death is better than that. It stops you from achieving your potential, just as colonialism did.
I want you all to stand like the Muslims who stood with La ilaaha ilalla for Truth and Right
During my 21 years of playing cricket, I have never been approached by anyone or offered a bribe.
But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money.
The team that is going to win is the one that does its homework the best by studying its opponents.
Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.
