The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to appoint Jason Gillespie as the new head coach for Pakistan’s national cricket team across all formats. According to sources close to the development, the former Australian fast bowler and successful coach is set to take charge of the team, bringing his extensive coaching experience and strategic mindset to the role.
Gillespie, who has enjoyed a successful coaching career with domestic teams and international franchises, is expected to provide the leadership needed to guide Pakistan through the upcoming international challenges. His track record includes stints with teams like Sussex and the Adelaide Strikers, where he achieved significant success.
The decision comes amid growing calls for a fresh approach in Pakistan’s cricketing setup, following the team’s mixed performances in recent tournaments. The PCB is hopeful that Gillespie’s expertise, especially in mentoring fast bowlers and improving team performance in all formats, will prove instrumental for Pakistan as they aim for consistency on the international stage.
An official announcement from the PCB is expected in the coming days.
