‘The Level Of Interference…’: Kirsten Hits Out At Mohsin Naqvi-led PCB, Reveals Reason For Quitting

By IANS News March 21, 2026 • 11:18 AM View: 113

Pakistan Cricket Board: Former Pakistan head coach Gary Kirsten has opened up about his short stint as head coach of Pakistan’s limited-overs teams, revealing that extensive involvement from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) played a major role in his early exit.

Kirsten, who was appointed in April 2024 on a two-year contract, stepped down from his role as ODI and T20I coach after just six months, departing only days before Pakistan’s scheduled ODI tour of Australia.

Kirsten said the extent of external influence on team affairs was unlike anything he had experienced before.
