I often speak about tennis being one of the most important sports when I was growing up, for my hand-eye coordination and quick feet.

If you pick up that information, the first metre or two, the ball coming out of the hand, you can analyse what's coming.

To cross the line for the team, to have an impact on winning the game - that's why I play this game.

Money wasn't the motivating factor in calling time on my international career and focusing on T20 cricket. If I was here to make as much money as I can, I would be playing 10 to 12 tournaments a year.

People think my life has been tough, but I think has been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happens, but how you deal with it.

I just know that it's smart for my career to carve my own path and do my own thing.
