Gary Kirsten, the head coach of Pakistan's ODI and T20 international team, has resigned from his post. Kirsten signed a two-year contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in April 2024, but resigned from his post after six months.
India won the 2011 World Cup during the tenure of former South African opener and Team India head coach Gary Kirsten. According to media reports, all is not well between Test coach Jason Gillespie, Gary Kirsten and the PCB.
Why did Gary Kirsten leave Pakistan team?
According to media reports, ever since the PCB has stopped the interference of the head coach in the selection, there is a rift going on between the head coach and the PCB. Gillespie also openly expressed his disappointment on this. During the third home Test between Pakistan and England, Gillespie had said that now I am only a match day analyst and I have not signed any contract for this.
Gary Kirst doesn't like it!
Gerry Kirsten has not made any public statement about this, but it is believed that he is very disappointed by all this. That is why the announcement of Pakistan's ODI team for the series against Australia was also delayed. The current PCB selection committee has sidelined the coaches and neither Gary Kirsten nor Jason Gillespie like that. When Pakistan lost the first match of the Test series to England at home, the third selection committee was formed in three months. Aaqib Javed, Aleem Dar, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq and Hasan Cheema became its part. The arbitrariness of the coach and captain was completely removed from team selection.
