“In cricket- be fit, be alert and be Sachin.”

“Batting is like another language for Sachin, he always answers his critics by this language.”

“My claim to understanding cricket is that I know what it is like to be bowled by a nine-year-old girl and face the long walk of shame back to the pavilion, past smirking bystanders. I also understand that feeling of guilt after spilling the simplest of dolly catches, attempting to spare my blushes with the most outlandish excuses. I even know what it feels like to collide with my batting partner whilst attempting a run, losing my trousers, dignity and wicket in one very foul swoop.”

“জীবনে সবারই একটা দ্বিতীয় সুযোগ পাওয়া উচিত, এই দাবি যেমন যৌক্তিক; আবার জীবনে এমন কিছুও থাকে, যেটি একবার হারিয়ে ফেলার পর হাজার চাইলেও আর ফিরে পাওয়া যায় না। তুমি ভালো থেকো, দুঃখ যেমন দিয়েছ, আনন্দও তো কম দাওনি। আমি না হয় সেসবই মনে রাখার চেষ্টা করব।”

“কেউ যখন বলে, তোমার জন্য জীবন দিয়ে দিতে পারি, সেটিও যেমন আক্ষরিক অর্থে নিতে নেই। তবে বাংলাদেশ দলে তরুণ অনেক খেলোয়াড়ের কথা শুনে এমন তো মনে হয়ই, 'মাশরাফি ভাই' বললে তারা আগুনে ঝাঁপ দিতেও একমূহুর্ত ভাববেন না।”

“বিপুল ভোটে সংসদ সদস্য নির্বাচিত হওয়ার পর ফোনে অভিনন্দন জানিয়ে বললাম, 'এখন থেকে কি ম্যাশ বলে ডাকব, নাকি মাননীয় সংসদ সদস্য বলতে হবে?' ওপ্রান্ত থেকে হাসির শব্দ, 'দাদা, আমি হলাম পানির মতো। যে পাত্রে রাখবেন, সেই পাত্রের আকারই ধারণ করব।' মজা করেই বলা। তবে মাশরাফিকে বোঝাতে উপমাটা আসলেই খুব জুতসই। মাশরাফি কখনো 'পাগলা' রূপে দেখা দেবেন, কখনো 'ক্যাপ্টেন কুল', কখনো-বা 'মাননীয় সংসদ সদস্য'। মাশরাফি বদলাবেন না। খঁটি জিনিস কখনো বদলায় না।”

“My days in hostel were tough. I was ragged by my seniors. We were asked to wash their dirty clothes, do their odd jobs, etc. When it came to eating, we would be often given burnt rotis and milk that had awful odour. But, never once did I call home. I knew if I had to become a tough cricketer, I would have to handle the pressure.”

“There's a natural tendency for children to, in some sense, inherit the cultural values of their parents. I'm not against that, that's fine, that's wonderful. What I am against is labelling. Nobody ever labels a child a cricketer because his father is a cricketer, but they do label a child a Catholic because his parents are Catholic. I think it's more or less unique. Nobody ever labels a child a socialist or a conservative or a liberal because that's what their parents are.”

“I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I felt that this player is playing with a style similar to mine, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...his compactness, technique, stroke production - it all seemed to gel!”
