The hero speaks! What Muhammed Shami said after NZ game

"I was watching everything from the bench. I will do something when I am given the chance. When you are not playing, it is very difficult. But if your team is performing, your boys are moving in a rhythm, then I don't think you should feel guilty sitting outside." | PTI

"It's not necessary to be there (in the playing XI). You have 15 players. Four of them have to stay out. So, by being positive and enjoying, I feel you will get more results." | PTI

"...I always think, I am not here today, I will be here tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then day after tomorrow. And when your time comes, you need to contribute." | AFP

"...I know everything, but it depends on what your role is, what the conditions are. You have to see everything because when the ball is not coming out of the wicket, you have to focus on the line and length. And the result is in front of you." | AP

"When you play for your country, I feel every wicket is important for you. As such, I don't like any particular wicket more. I enjoy all my wickets." | AFP

"I think you should look at the game, the innings, the fielding, how you have bowled. That matters more in this stage. The one who does well, wins the match." | AFP

"It does benefit (you) when you are bowling during the day. Whenever you bowl, you always look for a good area. And whenever you bowl in a good area, you will definitely get results." | PTI
