I grew up playing against friends and cousins in the park and it was some of the most competitive cricket I have played.

People have been saying life will change for us now but me? No chance. I may be a World Cup winner but I will always be the lad who played cricket with his friends and cousins in the park on Stoney Lane in south Birmingham using an old milk crate for stumps.

Look at a player like Divock Origi. No one was talking about the guy and then suddenly he becomes a hero.

I know my responsibilities. They are to my religion, my parents, my wife, my family and my community.

People make mistakes along the way. Cricket means I may not always be there for everyone all the time. But when I take the field for my country, I know there are a lot of people I am representing.

I was so fortunate to play my club cricket at Moseley Ashfield. We had loads of Asians, white players, black players. You grow up from that knowing it just doesn't matter what religion or culture people are into, everyone is different.
