My Philosophy Is - Don’t Try To Be Something That You're Not: Gillespie On Pakistan Test Coach Role
World Test Championship: Jason Gillespie, the former Australia fast-bowler, said his philosophy as Pakistan’s new Test coach will be to not try to be something which the side isn’t and play a style of cricket in the longer format which suits them the most.
Gillespie's first assignment as Pakistan’s Test coach will be the two-Test Bangladesh series in August, with the side currently at fifth place in the World Test Championship standings. It is the first time Gillespie will coach an international team, having previously served as Yorkshire head coach, as well as coaching Sussex and South Australia. He also had T20 coaching roles with Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) and Adelaide Strikers.
"Look, I simply want the Pakistan cricket team to play the style of cricket that’s going to suit them; for me, that’s important. My philosophy is - don’t try to be something that you're not! You've got to be authentic in how you go about it.
