"The way they welcome you in India, with arms wide open. It's like they already know you as a human being - what you don't like, what you like. They try to make you comfortable. Every year, when I am leaving for India (for the IPL), it's like I am leaving for my second home."
Narine said that playing in the IPL is the closest it gets for him to playing at home. "The closest thing to feeling at home playing in the CPL, is the IPL. To me it's not just friendships, it's like a family. (I am) missing the excitement of the IPL, the fans, the loved ones watching you perform. Whether it is 4 o'clock in the morning (in Trinidad), or 12 o'clock, they (are always) looking forward, that's something I'm missing a lot," he said.
