The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Jason Gillespie as the white-ball head coach for the team’s Australia tour following the acceptance of Gary Kirsten’s resignation.
Gillespie, who is Green Shirts’ red-ball head coach, will accompany the team for their upcoming ODI and T20I series against the Kangaroos set to commence on November 4.
The national side is set to play three ODIs and T20Is each against the Kangaroos which will be followed by a series against Zimbabwe with the same number of matches.Play Video
Gillespie’s new role comes after Kirsten resigned after differences emerged between him and the PCB over various matters.
It is to be noted that Kirsten and Gillespie were appointed as white and red-ball coaches, respectively on two-year contracts in April this year.
Speaking to Geo News, Kirsten said that he has read about the claims against him in the light of the development and he will respond to it today.
“I’ll state all reasons behind my decision to resign in it,” he added.
