Q. How much do you enjoy captaincy? And is there any pressure that comes with it?

I have always enjoyed captaincy. It gives me an opportunity to connect with the boys and pass on my experience. There is, of course, the pressure-you must manage multiple things at the same time-but rather than getting worked up, I enjoy it. I like to stay calm because that is what rubs off on to the team. I make it a point that through my actions on and off the pitch, we look at the brighter side and stay motivated.
