I am not going to tolerate players turning up unfit. They are professional athletes representing a country.

I am so passionate about Pakistan cricket that I would never ever put myself in a position where there will be a conflict of interest.

I am a big fan of the five-bowler strategy.

Team is all about vision, goal and ambition... It's about wanting to be the best you can be as a group.

I was not sceptical coming to Pakistan. I took the job because I was really excited about it.

Coming to Pakistan has been unbelievable. It is the best thing of my career.

I never wanted to launch legal action, but Cricket Australia simply left me no option. James Sutherland himself said that, to an extent, I had been made 'a scapegoat.' I find that a totally unfair basis to end my career. The damage to my reputation and career has been immense, which means the chances of me getting a senior job are that much less.

When I lost the job with Cricket Australia, I almost felt I had unfinished business to do. I felt that my reputation with South Africa and internationally had been very good. And then you lose your coaching job, it is tough. It kept me three years out of it.

The backing I have received form the PCB is second to none. They have allowed me to do what I want to do for the best. I really think that we are on the right track. I am loving this Pakistan job.

Coaching England is a huge job, and no ambitious coach would rule himself out completely.

I'm going to give international cricket one more crack. The Pakistan job seems like a perfect fit.

To be able to close off a run chase or finish off when you are setting a target is a real skill.
