It is never easy for a professional cricketer, who has represented his country for 17 years, to forget the past and adopt a new lifestyle.

In the past, when we toured countries like Australia or South Africa, we struggled, but we also got to learn a lot, and we learnt to cope with pressure.

When I look back and think about it, I feel my career was fairly good but, certainly, not tremendous.

Being chief selector has been the most challenging role of my cricket career, as I was heavily criticised for my decisions, and I couldn't respond much.

If two of your films don't do well, people say you're out in the cold and your career is over. One film does well, and you've had the best year of your life! I don't believe in all that's written.

There have been periods of my career that I haven't worked for a really long time, like seven or eight months.

That's all I'm programmed for: to keep pushing and to try to make the most of my career and my life, to take care of my family.

I wanna thank Biggie Smalls, Redman, Jadakiss, Tupac and Michael Jackson for being my theme music throughout my career.
