The PCB has announced that Jason Gillespie will remain the head coach for the upcoming two Test matches against South Africa. Despite having a contract until 2026, the board has yet to confirm his role beyond this tour. Recently, multiple local reports and ESPNcricinfo suggested that Gillespie's tenure with Pakistan cricket is limited, with Aaqib Javed poised to replace him as the all-format coach. This speculation follows Gary Kirsten's resignation as white-ball coach, leaving Aaqib as the frontrunner for that role ahead of Pakistan's T20I and ODI tour of Zimbabwe starting next Sunday.
The PCB, however, denies any immediate threat to Gillespie's position, stating on X, "As announced previously, Jason Gillespie will continue to coach the Pakistan side for the two red-ball matches against South Africa."
"For me, when I came on board with Pakistan cricket, I was told there was a long-term plan, and we need to make sure our communication's spot on,
" he said.
"I made that a real focus so you can get frustrated if those things aren't done how you would like. It wasn't what I signed up for, I'll be frank.
"
I strongly disagree with these sudden changes in the coaching staff. Instead of replacing Gillespie, he should focus on developing grassroots cricket, where his expertise can significantly benefit the future of Pakistan cricket.
