“I've played a lot more red-ball cricket than I have white-ball cricket.”
“I only like my mom's coleslaw.”
“I'm most looking forward to bowling at the international players - it will be a gauge to see where I'm at and if I'm ready for international cricket.”
“When I walked outside of my room for the first time since being placed into self-isolation for breaking the Covid-19 protocols, I heard the cameras clicking with every single step I took. The whole spectacle made me feel uneasy.”
“There's not much to complain about in life - apart from bad Wi-Fi, of course!”
“To play 100 Tests is a lot of miles in the legs and just thinking about that many as a fast bowler hurts my back!”
“I might actually get a calendar just to cross them down to feel like the days are going faster.”
“I don't need to run in and bowl 90mph every spell to get wickets.”
“I want to win the Ashes.”
“It doesn't bother me what people are saying. Social media is there for people to voice their criticism, so you shouldn't take that to heart.”
“Bumrah's action is a bit awkward, so you don't see his slower balls. He can trick you with pace. He is a lot quicker than he looks.”
“England are doing really well in the Tests and ODIs, they're doing well in everything and I think it will be hard to squeeze my way into the team.”
“In T20, even when you are sticking with the same processes you can just as easily go for 40 or 50 runs in your four overs as take two for 20. In those situations, you are bound to be upset even when the game is over but it is OK to feel you should have done better. It's such an unpredictable game.”
“Being qualified means I can spend a bit more time at home.”
“There are different roles you must play over 80 overs and that means you need to be versatile as a bowler.”
“I guess I am pretty much like Bumrah, with my yorkers and slower balls.”
“It's really hard to get a chance in Barbados.”
“It doesn't matter how many wickets we won by. It doesn't matter how we got there. The point was that we did.”
“I just wanted to play in the IPL; the money is just a bonus.”
“Don't expect any miracles, I can only come in and do what I can and give my best. I can't work miracles but I will try to.”
