### \ud83d\udeab No sign of a “national team firing”<\/p>\n
* *Snooker isn\u2019t structured around national teams*: Unlike football or rugby, snooker operates on individual rankings and tournament entry\u2014there\u2019s no national team that can “fire” a player.
\n* *No tweet, press release, or statement*: Mark Williams has not posted anything suggesting such a dismissal, nor has any governing body announced it.<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcdd Conclusion<\/p>\n
The claim that “Mark Williams has been fired from a national team, ending his international career” appears to be **entirely unsubstantiated**. No factual evidence supports it\u2014basically, it’s not true.<\/p>\n
Would you like me to track down whether something similar happened in his earlier career (e.g., a disciplinary action) or perhaps verify his current form and future tournament plans? Let me know!<\/p>\n
