Default Would any body differentiate negative form of affirmatives

1.one use of simple present tense is show habitual action and general
ex:- affirmative negative

He plays cricket He does not play cricket

I am bit confuse as is it should be
He does not play cricket
He never play cricket

2.what is the negative form of infinitive
ex:-
i want to go
i want not to go
or
i do not want to go
or
i not want to go

Both "he does not play cricket" and "he never plays cricket" are correct.

For the other, "I do not (don't) want to go is correct."
