Jason Gillespie explains reasons for leaving Pakistan team coaching


Former head coach of Pakistan Red Ball team Jason Gillespie has revealed the reasons for his resignation from coaching the national cricket team.

Resigned coach of Pakistan Red Ball team Jason Gillespie has vented his anger and harshly criticized the PCB officials and leveled accusations.

While talking to the Australian media, Jason Gillespie praised the talent of Pakistan cricketers and appeared very unhappy with the attitude of the board officials.

The former Australian fast bowler said that after being removed from the selection committee, my powers were severely limited. When the selection committee is not taken into confidence, how could the match be planned, while I was not even contacted about dropping Babar Azam.

Jason Gillespie, citing the non-extension of high-performance coach Tim Nelson's contract as the main reason for his dissatisfaction, said that I was kept completely unaware of the decision not to keep Tim Nelson. After the Nelson affair, I felt that my job has become difficult now. Not keeping the head coach informed of an important decision forced me to think like this.

The former national team coach added that after a few past incidents, this matter forced me to think whether I was needed or not. My purpose of coaching Pakistan was fading away. My only job was to get the players to practice catching on the morning of the match. In these circumstances, it was better to resign and go home.

Jason Gillespie said that it is necessary for the head coach to have full contact with everyone, including the selectors. For planning, it is important that I be informed about the squad at least a day in advance. In the absence of all these matters, it becomes difficult to work.

He also said that after the first match against England, the news of the new selection committee was received through a text message on the group. No discussion was held with me on the issue of the selection committee, while the decision to drop Babar Azam was also made by the new selection committee.
