Look after cricket, money will look after itself

It was my international debut. Advice and suggestions poured in but the one piece of advice that I still remember has nothing to do with cricketing techniques. A senior teammate told me to look after my cricket and the money would look after itself. This advice worked. After so many years in the game, I can say the same with conviction. In fact, this is the advice that I pass on to younger players: think about your game and the money will come. When players wonder if they should do some additional business, I tell them cricket is the best business. The satisfaction you get from playing well compares to little else, and you get paid well too.
