Does the team really say that they stand united behind their captain who prefers to sit out and not give his 110% to his team and country? Shaharyar is speaking for himself and simply is not sincere in taking his responsibility seriously.

Shaharyar's time is up...he needs to pack up and leave on his own before he too gets kicked out.
