“I don’t believe in teamwork; give me a team that works!”
Shoaib Akhtar asserts that it’s his favourite quote.

“Teamwork is about doing your job and allowing,ensuring and facilitating your teammates to do theirs well or better.”
“Everyone works but not all pull in the same direction.”

“’Working in Teams’ —That’s the next stop on my motivational speeches tour.”
