David Dwyer says: ”I think there is far too much cricket and the schedules they keep up are. I think it is a lot on the players for them to be able to play, pack up and travel the next day and than play again”

Kaif says: “When we won, in 2000, there was not that much money. We got recognition and that egged me on. We were absorbed into the National Cricket Academy and played the Challengers. Though things have changed now, this fame will not last if these youngsters lose focus and forget their responsibilities. They know cricket comes first. If they don’t perform, money and fame will not last.”

Manoj Tiwary says: “Sometimes I think why it should happen to me. But then, God has been kind to me, giving me money in the form of IPL contract (with the Delhi Daredevils). I was certain that I’d have made it to the Indian team for Ireland and England and the T20 World Cup had I not got injured.”

Shane Warne says: “Though Twenty20 is called batsman’s game, bowlers can turn it around. Yes, spinners will be hit but often we saw good performances by them too. They have evolved and I feel they certainly have a big role in this format of cricket too.”

Former Indian Cricketer Ajay Jadeja had to say these words on Indian Premier League – DLF IPL.

“Cricket cannot be marketed. Crowd in the grounds has to believe what they are seeing is real and not a reality show. Fast paced exciting colourful cricket is a grand idea but in India cricket fans will take time to adjust to the concept. Cricket crazy fans in the country associate themselves with the Indian cricket team and they want to watch Indian team playing.”
