If you are trying to instil a training discipline of hard work, effort and going the extra mile in practice, then Shakib is not your leader. My point is you don't build an environment of excellence based on doing as little as you can get away with.

Does he care about Bangladesh? Yes most definitely. Is he a world class player? Absolutely. But he is those things IN SPITE of his training and not because of it.
