"As I step away from this format, it's not easy - but it feels right. I've given it everything I had, and it's given me back so much more than I could've hoped for."

"I have always loved cinema more than the cricket. I don't think there is any harm in taking a different field."
Angad Bedi

"It has been an absolute honour to represent my country in whites,"
Rohit Sharma

"I just want that someone in their 50s or 60s, when they talk about Brian Lara, they say 'I enjoyed watching that guy playing cricket."

"When I am off the field, I am the calm, very quiet kind of easy-sailing ocean, and then when I am on a hot streak with a cricket ball, I can be the most disastrous waters you have ever been in."
Dale Steyn
#cricket
"I love cricket but I like being away from it as well."
Alastair Cook
#cricket

"I don't play golf. I don't like it. It's not a game for me. I know the lads enjoy it and that's their time off. At times it's as if the golf is more important, and that is not true at all.
I cannot stress enough that when we're at training, especially Stokes and McCullum, we train hard."
Mark Wood
"Then we come out in the press and we'll say an off-the-cuff one-liner that maybe a group of lads have been talking about, then it's in the press, then it looks like we're Billy Big Boots, above our station. I don't particularly like that. We've got to be respectful."
Mark Wood

"Sometimes we've been so, how can I say this? Naive, a bit dumb in the things we say in the press."
Mark Wood
#cricket
"I am amused by cricket because it seems to take longer than baseball and I like that. It seems like a sport I could have made up it - it takes several days to play and everyone wears sweaters. I can't confess to knowing what's going on at all."
John Hodgman
#cricket
"I have made a few mistakes early on that I admit myself, and there have been times when I have gone over the top and done things that you shouldn't do in international cricket, but that's how you learn."
Virat Kohli

"Cricket is 90-95 per cent mental. To score runs, you've got to feel good about yourself."

When Charlotte Edwards first played at Lord's in 1997, women weren't allowed in the Long Room. Now, the legendary England captain has her portrait hung in the famous Pavilion 👏
"I've always wanted to play Test cricket from a young age and that's what you dream about. But you have to make sure you can contribute regardless of the format."
Joe Root

"Cricket fans all over the world probably have more in common with each other than with their fellow citizens."
Romesh Gunesekera

"I told another ESPN friend here, I love all sports. I can't think of any I don't love. I've even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don't know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing."
Sean Astin
#cricket
"My dad's method in his madness was to try every sport and then observe what I liked. I played football, tennis, golf, cricket but I loved my snooker."
Ronnie O'Sullivan

Andrew Flintoff

"Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch."
Peter Tork
#cricket
"My father died in 1930, but if you told him or anybody almost in that time that you'd be able to sit back in England and watch a cricket game in Australia, they'd have you put in the loony bin."
Desmond Llewelyn

"It will be a fantastic opportunity to expand traditional boundaries when it features in the Olympics in the fast-paced, exciting T20 format that should appeal to new audiences,"
