During a recent interaction with talkSPORT Cricket, Kirsten explained that the work culture around the team forced him to resign from the position. The veteran coach claimed that he was surprised to see the ‘level of interference’.
During the latest conversation, the coach said that he was surprised to witness the amount of interference in the team, which he had never seen before.
Why did the World Cup-winning coach leave the job so quickly?
He was annoyed by the constant noise coming from the outside, which barred him from applying his coaching formulas to shape the team. Along with the constant noises, Gary Kirsten was bothered to see the vindictive actions taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board around poor performance.
"As a coach, you are the lowest-hanging fruit when the team isn't going well, so 'let us get rid of the coach or let us put a restriction on the coach,' because that is the easiest thing to do when the team isn't performing - and that is counterproductive in my view. Then why recruit the coach?" Kirsten added.
