My teammate Franco Baresi was a real captain. He was an example for everyone. Not a big talker. He never talked. But on the field or in training, he was No. 1.
I wanted to play a good guy after doing this lunatic on The Sopranos for two years. And then they did the sequel to Bad Boys, where I get to play the barking captain again.
The captaincy thing is brilliant, and I love it. But I didn't start off playing cricket to captain England. I wanted to score runs and stuff.
I would love to get bumped up to be team captain, or even Asuka. Either-or. We can even be co-captains.
The main thing about being captain is keeping your own performance good, and then everything else should fall into place off the back of that.
I've been the captain of a Premier League club, and I've coached some of the best players in the world.
