“I'm just being honest, if I get one wicket or three, the way I bowl doesn't change.”

“You don't have to put yourself under pressure, you don't have to be fit even before your body is fit.”

“It's not true that modern cricketers only want to be white-ball cricketers. Because I had a good World Cup that doesn't mean I only like World Cup cricket.”

“You're young and you want to play, you have got to make the most of your youth because before you know it, you're 20, 21 or even 25 if you're unlucky, and you're still trialing and hoping to get a chance. And then a lot of people don't take chances on guys who are a little bit older.”

“No one will bowl at 90mph all day every day. There will be spells when you have to bowl within yourself.”

“I don't want to look too far ahead.”

“Not many days you get a nice, fast bowling wicket.”

“The way I am looking at things is that I would rather miss a few weeks of a year so that I have a few more years in my career.”

“When I sit back and reflect, it's humbling to see how far I've come. I watched the IPL as a kid six-seven years ago in the Caribbean, watching all these superstars playing. Now to be in this environment is fantastic.”

“To be straight, if I play and don't bowl 90 miles an hour it's going to be news. If I don't bowl 90 miles per hour for long enough it's going to be news. If I don't put my left sock on first, it's going to be news. I understand that is the scrutiny of playing at this level and being in that spotlight.”

“Like any cricketer, I just want to get back on the field.”

“Eoin Morgan and Joe Root have a really calm and open changing room. There's no tension there. You don't have to be walking on egg shells around any of the players.”

“If someone wants to shout at me and tell me I'm bowling badly, that's fine. I may not agree but it's fine. It's part of the experience of being a touring cricketer.”

“I personally want to play Test cricket, hopefully, when I qualify. It's the pinnacle, a great place to showcase your skills and really rate yourself.”

“I've watched so many old games played on 'Sky Sports.' My feelings are that watching something played live really should pique some interest.”

“It is impossible to run in the whole day bowling at 90mph. If you can show me someone who does it then fair play. But I've not seen any bowler who bowls 90mph do it for a whole day.”

“It wasn't a pleasant experience to be confined to my hotel room for five days even though I had my Xbox and workout stuff with me so I could make the most of a bad situation.”

“When you have an operation, you are altering the body. You are going into a perfectly fine piece of tissue and when you do so, you can invite all sorts of complications. The intention might be to solve one thing, but it can mess up others.”

“Cricket is also a bit more of a social game. You are never too far away from one of your other team-mates, so you can always wander over for a bit of a chat. For example, if I am at mid-off, I could always wander over to mid-on and have a joke with Stuart Broad.”

“That's the thing, never get complacent.”
