Riyad has not been a good influence on his BPL/DPL teams for last few seasons either. His lack of interest playing for team's cause has been a red flag throughout his career. IMO, Hathuru is doing the right thing looking at other options.
You have to feel bad for Shakib, surrounded by mediocre players. Even our top elite players (apart from Shakib) are mediocre when you look at it from a worldwide perspective. This is why Stokes looks a better player than he is, because his team carries him to many wins. Whereas Shakib usually has to carry the team, hoping one of those mediocre players pitches in. It's a sad reality.
