Q. When did the BCCI contact you?
A. They spoke to me yesterday (Monday). I was a bit surprised. Star Sports were kind enough to grant me the go ahead. I am honoured and this is a new challenge for me. I told the Board that I have a television commentary contract and if they (Star) agree I have no problems.

A. Whatever I am, it is because of BCCI and India. If Indian cricket needs my services, I have to respond. It's the nation's call.
