“I am training a lot harder, gym a lot, more muscle, strengthening my back, my legs, my muscles, my weak areas a lot.”

“The late Runako Morton had some pretty dodgy clothes.”

“I did a lot of good work with my trainer and the physio in Barbados, and they were tremendous help to me during my comeback period.”

“In Twenty20s, you have to bowl a lot fuller, especially at the death, and you've got to be mindful of what you're doing. But it's still cricket.”

“I don't have any complaints. I cannot say I miss playing for the West Indies that much.”

“I like to let the ball do the talking.”

“Any win is good for a team that has been losing.”

“I was away from the game for a few years, and it feels good to be back. I'm bowling quite well and also getting the ball to reverse swing. During the time off, I worked a lot on getting the ball to reverse swing; now it's working well for me.”

“Taking part and helping West Indies win the World T20 in 2012 - I'll never forget the feeling. The celebrations afterwards were crazy, a massive all-nighter.”

“I do enjoy batting - if the bowling's not quick!”

“I try to keep the ball up to the bat, and I usually get the ball to outswing, so I get wickets like that.”

“Test cricket should be No. 1 for every cricketer.”

“God is good, and my health is in his hands.”

“One of my aims is to be the fastest and regarded as the best fast bowler in the world.”

“I don't bowl to hit people; I bowl to get wickets.”

“You have to be smart on your feet. It will be hard on wickets where the ball will keep low. Hopefully, you can get one to fly, and that puts doubts in the batsman's mind.”

“My aim has always been to be at the top.”

“I have some goals I'm looking to achieve, and one thing is to help the team win and move back up the ladder. This is vitally important to the team overall and to the supporters of West Indies cricket.”

“I'm delighted to have signed for such an ambitious club as Hampshire. I'm very much looking forward to my first taste of county cricket. It's also an honour to follow other Bajans like Malcolm Marshall and Gordon Greenidge to Hampshire.”

“I love to play Test cricket; it's the main cricket.”
