Gary Kirsten quit as Pakistan's white-ball coach over a fallout with the board.
Pakistan cricket team has announced the appointment of Test team coach Jason Gillespie as the new white-ball coach for the upcoming series against Australia and Zimbabwe. Gillespie's appointment comes on a temporary basis, while a new full-time head coach for white-ball cricket will be announced in due time. The development comes after Gary Kirsten decided to submit his resignation from the post after reports about arguments, conflicts of point of view and interests between him and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) aggravated. The Pakistan Cricket Board today announced Jason Gillespie will coach the Pakistan men's cricket team on next month's white-ball tour of Australia after Gary Kirsten submitted his resignation, which was accepted.
The PCB confirmed Kirsten's exit, saying his resignation was accepted, while Gillespie was given the charge of the forthcoming assignments against Australia and Zimbabwe.
"The Pakistan Cricket Board today announced Jason Gillespie will coach the Pakistan men's cricket team on next month's white-ball tour of Australia after Gary Kirsten submitted his resignation, which was accepted," Pakistan Cricket posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Gary Kirsten's resignation comes only after barely six months into his appointment as head coach for the Pakistan cricket team.
