Quotes

edit

  • I don’t like the comparison between men’s cricket and women’s cricket
  • It’s just a different game. You don’t have to put us in the same category.
  • Initially, when tennis was developing as a sport, there were comparisons made between the serve rates of different players. Now it has reached a point where Serena Williams is appreciated just as Roger Federer is in his own right. It’s time for cricket to also reach that place.
