However, Shami has refuted all the allegations and said that someone was misleading his wife.
Talking to the media earlier, Shami said, "Hasin and her family have been saying that we will sit and sort out all issues, but I don't know who has been misleading her".
"As far as allegation of compromising my performance while playing for the country is concerned, I would rather die than do something like this," he added.
