South Africa is now my country.

I just like to enjoy my cricket.

Leg spinners can change the game.

One must always love passionately.

I don't bowl for personal numbers.

I will bowl defensively if I have to.

One of my dreams was to win the World Cup.

I want to be the guy the captain can trust.

I've been working really hard on my fitness.

I have always wanted to play in the World Cup.

I have a lot of respect, whatever format I play.

It's always beneficial taking advice from Dhoni.

In professional cricket, everybody wants to win.

Whenever I am playing, I try to contribute to my team.

It's every cricketer's dream to play in the World Cup.

It's always tough for a spinner to bowl against India.

I never look to contain. I always try and take wickets.

Its strong management that makes players feel comfortable.

I lost my parents, which is the toughest thing to overcome.

Any spinner can change the game. It's been proven in T20 cricket.

I lost my parents without them seeing me play international cricket.

I will do what my team wants me to do and justify my place in the side.

I always love challenges, and when I bowl, I always look to get wickets.

Hampshire were the club who gave me my first chance, so I owe them a lot.

If I get a wicket, I just want to show people that how big that is for me.

Losses are always hard to swallow, and every sportsperson has the same feeling.

I've played all over the world. I've played in England, South Africa, Pakistan.

I think I have the ability and can play a role in T20 cricket for South Africa.

I'm the guy who come through a lot of hard patches. I've seen a lot of hardships.

If I want to hide myself from my limitations, then I don't want to play this game.

I have always been an attacking bowler, but I am trying my best to learn every day.

My job, if someone picks me, is to come and perform. That's what we do for a living.

When someone attacks you, there is always an opportunity, and that's what I look for.

I am enjoying the experience of working with Mishra. For me, he is a world-class spinner.

I am an attacking bowler, but I can change my plan and go however the team wants me to go.

The best players of the world play in the IPL, and to bowl to them in T20 cricket isn't easy.

Thanks to technology, you can sit and see the opposition's mistakes and try to learn from them.

Fifty overs is a long time. It's a good challenge, and you have enough time to show your skills.

I have learnt that patience is important: patience when you bowl and also in how you handle life.

I'm just really honoured to play for South Africa. Just to be part of this team is a special feeling.

I am more South African than Pakistani now. It's a great country, and I have met so many nice people.

It's the nature of a human that when you get neglected somewhere, you want to go back and prove a point.

I have always been an attacking bowler. I am more than happy to go for a few runs and get a few wickets.

There is always a pressure if you play every game and especially when you are representing your country.

It is a big challenge as a spinner to play modern day cricket, where you have to have five players in the circle.

Playing for CSK, one of the best franchises in the world, I've to show people how much I love and respect this team.

There are not too many leg-spinners in the world, and if you look closely, Mishra bhai will stand out as one of the best.

Spinners have a main role, whether in the IPL or world cricket. But it's hard to be a legspinner: you have to be accurate.

Playing for South Africa is an absolute honour, and I don't feel like I need to relax. Every game I take more than seriously.

I always come on the ground with a smile on the face, but inside, I'm always ready to fight and try to give as much as I can.
