Pakistan Cricket News: There has been a big change in Pakistan cricket before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Gary Kirsten has been appointed as the new coach of the Pakistan team in white ball formats (ODI and T20I). Under the coaching of Kirsten, the Indian team won the Cricket World Cup in 2011. Then former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie has been made the head coach of the Test team.
56-year-old Kirsten is currently the mentor of IPL franchise Gujarat Titans. Apart from India, Kirsten has also been the head coach of the South African team for three years. Kirsten has been appointed the head coach of Pakistan a month before the T20 World Cup. The position of head coach was vacant following the departure of Mickey Arthur. Mohammad Hafeez took charge of the team as team manager after Arthur, but was suspended after poor performances during the tour of New Zealand and Australia.
