PCB has denied the news of Gillespie’s removal.
The PCB has denied reports of Gillespie’s removal, the PCB said in a statement on Sunday. As announced earlier, Jason Gillespie will remain the coach of the Pakistan team for the two Test matches against South Africa. Earlier, there were reports that the current national selector of Pakistan cricket team and former fast bowler Aaqib Javed can become the head coach of Pakistan team in all three formats.
Javed is not ready to take the responsibility of team coach
According to the news agency, it is being said that Javed is not ready to take the responsibility of the team’s coach, but PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has convinced him. The source said, the Pakistani team will go to Harar after playing its last T20 match in Australia on Monday. In such a situation, the new head coach will join him in Zimbabwe.

It was also revealed that Gillespie had rejected the PCB’s offer to become the full-time head coach of Pakistan in limited overs cricket. The former Australian fast bowler was named as the interim coach for the ODI and T20I series against Australia after Gary Kirsten resigned from his post. In April, Gillespie was appointed head coach of Pakistan’s Test team on a two-year contract. Under his leadership, Pakistan lost the Test series against Bangladesh on home soil.
