In Pakistan politics is hereditary.

• A country that relies on aid? Death is better than that. It stops you from achieving your potential, just as colonialism did.
• If one area I felt it was a tough election was I couldn't see my young son and I couldn't see my wife a lot, but apart from that for her also it was an experience.
• In fact the experience at Oxford has really helped me later in life.
• The future of Indo-Pak cricket will depend on how the peace process goes.
• I feel an independent accountability commission should audit all government services.
• Pakistan needs to have decentralisation and a good local government system.
• If your house is burning, wouldn't you try and put out the fire?
• They do not understand Islam, and I think that is one area where perhaps I hope one day I will play a role in actually making people understand what we perceive Islam to be.
• I believed in myself. I never imagined myself as just an ordinary player.
• Cross-cultural marriage is difficult, especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.
