“It's great travelling, changing formats. That can help keep you fresh, changing teams as well and being involved in different cultures.”

“Captaining the BLACKCAPS in Test cricket has been an incredibly special honour.”

“I think we see in cricket, often it's surrounded with failure and how you deal with it.”

“The T20 game certainly allows you to explore different areas of your own game that you might then bring into your other formats a little.”

“I think as a player, generally certain things in life change and when you get further down the line, you're always looking to make decisions based on making sure you stay fresh.”

“I don't think any plan is sustainable forever.”

“I suppose if you bat first and put 400 on the board, it's a tick in the batting column and you go and try and do the job in the second half.”

“I loved my time over in county cricket.”

“It is hard to predict the future.”

“Yeah, I love all the formats, for different reasons, and in fact playing the three and changing between them is a challenge that is enjoyable.”

“You take risks in T20 cricket sometimes it doesn't come off and it came be frustrating but it is going out and playing in the right style to help move the team forward.”

“After playing good, we know that everything starts again. Anything in the past is quickly forgotten.”

“T20 is fickle, so it's important we don't chase the win, we chase how we want to be playing cricket.”

“There are always people with varying opinions and that's life, everyone is different.”

“It is important to go out and play each game positively.”

“I just try and bat as best as I can to the team situation.”

“Obviously every batter's different - they have different strengths. I just try and adjust my game as subtly as possible, and try and sort of get the ball to areas that I might need to do to generate a strike rate.”

“Often it's very difficult to know exactly how a pitch is going to play until you start playing.”

“We don't want to try too hard, it's important you are relaxed and calm because that's when you play your best cricket.”

“You constantly have to adapt to changing conditions and against different opposition.”
