First of all, I will always prefer India. But if you want to think other than India, then I would like to coach Australia’s team. I have always liked the system, professionalism and preparation for the match there.
You should be made the Chief Minister of Punjab for a day… So what will you do first?

See, there was still 4-5 years of cricket left in Virat, but this is his personal decision. We should respect him. There was no pressure on them.

Gill has a lot of talent and he is playing the captaincy very well in the Test match. The series against England will be a big test for him, but I am confident that he will cross it and will be seen captaining it continuously in future.
And will you contest the 2027 assembly elections?
If needed and Punjab feels my need, I will definitely fight. I want the youth to come forward and work for the development of the state.
Afridi probably has to enter politics, like Imran Khan. Therefore, they are making such statements. I think Pakistan players enjoy talking without meaning.
So should Indo-Pak play cricket?
First the relationship between the two countries should improve. Cricket is a very small thing. Until the relationship is better, there should be no match.
