Quotes
Sikandar Raza
Cricket player for Sharjah Warriors in the ILT20 season
“For the first time, I’m working with a coach who has done the same role. JP knows what I’m thinking, what I might do. After a win or a loss, I go to him and review my performance because he gets it, being a spinner, a middle-order batter, the whole combination.”

“I’m batting at five, pretty much where I’ve spent most of my career. But when the situation changes, you change. If it’s 100/3 after 15 overs, that’s one mindset. If it’s 30/3 after five, that’s another. The situation tells you what role you need to play.”
