Shahid Afridi quotes:

Whenever you feel down, always remember that Almighty Allah has better plans for you.

Always try to understand and educate yourselves on the reasons why Allah has given you life, do that part first then enjoy the rest of life and chill out.

I will leave this shining life of cricket very soon. This bat and ball won't save Shahid Afridi in Grave

If everything works out for me & if it's my special day I'll try to break AB de Villiers record for the fastest hundred.

If I didn't play international cricket, I would have joined the Army.

I'm not very strong mentally, I'm straight forward.

Records are there to be broken.

Since my childhood, I saw my elder brothers playing cricket and that is what built my passion around it. I was enrolled in school but all my attention was on cricket.

There are Millions of people in this world. Then why are you born? The reason is, Allah is expecting something from you, which is not possible by Millions.

A lot of my family is in army and it has always been inspirational for me to see them wearing the prestigious uniforms and their disciplined lifestyle. If I wasn't so passionate about cricket, I would have definitely been a soldier for my country.

A player should never be selfish and should always contribute to team's victory.

Actually I started out as a fast bowler but people told me that I was chucking the ball, so i changed to spin.

Fast bowling is not an easy job. Especially if you are also a batsman as well as being a fast bowler, a fast bowler has to work harder than any other cricketer on his fitness.

I am still better than lots of players.

I believe that a sportsman should be aggressive because that is what gives him or her the power to perform even in the toughest of situations.

I have never compared myself to anyone, but it's hard to resist him!!

I honestly think that my sincerity lies with my country and each and every individual who knows me will agree with this fact.

I love cricket and I have no intention to retire

I never had a coach teach me, my style of batting, nor do I believe in coaching at an international level.

I think the fitness of players is the key to success. I believe that there should be no place of unfit players in the team because the fit players also start becoming lazy seeing their routine. Having teamwork capabilities is also very important as there comes a lot of times where you have to think beyond your own interest to upkeep the national interest.

If i am ever given the captaincy, I will be very tight on my players to keep them in line.

I'm not Misbah, Mishah is not me

It is sad that some people in the media like to create stories to sell their media, without any real facts to back up their stories.
