\"The Pakistan Cricket Board today announced Jason Gillespie will coach the Pakistan men\u2019s cricket team on next month\u2019s white-ball tour of Australia after Gary Kirsten submitted his resignation, which was accepted,\" PCB posted on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gillespie, who is currently serving as the head coach for Pakistan\u2019s red-ball team, will now take on the responsibility of guiding the ODI and T20I squads. The upcoming tour, starting November 4 in Melbourne, will feature three ODIs and as many T2OIs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kirsten's tenure as head coach began in April 2024 following his successful run with the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. However, his time with Pakistan was fraught with challenges. Under his leadership, the team faced a series loss against England and suffered disappointing eliminations from the recent T20 World Cup, including losses to the United States and India that dashed their hopes of advancing in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Compounding the challenges, coaches within the PCB have expressed feelings of being sidelined amid the increasing authority of the selection committee. Following a series of poor performances, the PCB appointed a new selection panel- its third in three months - comprising former players Aaqib Javed, Aleem Dar, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Hassan Cheema. Notably, this committee made decisions without consulting the coaching staff or the team captain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
