The fallout in the Pakistan Cricket Board continues more than a year after Jason Gillespie and former South African cricketer Gary Kirsten stepped down. Gillespie resigned as Pakistan's red-ball coach in December 2024. He ended his eight-month stint after internal disagreements and communication issues.
"Frankly speaking, they used to overrule every selector. They weren't willing to listen to anyone," he said.
"We need to change both the pitch and the team. We brought in the spinners; Pakistan won, and that's when things started to go wrong. He then said, I don't agree with that," he added.

"I asked him, 'What was your plan after the first Test? We lost the first Test against England. No you didn't. You waited in and you said this is what we're doing," he said.

"What I had an issue with in the pitch was I didn't agree with the suggestion to sprinkle it with sand as well. Not only did we have a 10 or 11 day pitch, just sprinkle it with sand. We were instructed before Aaqib and the new selectors came in that you could only pick players that passed the fitness testing criteria," Gillespie stated.
"Gary Kirsten was relieved of his duties as a selector after a Test match loss that we had. He last coached the white ball team three months ago, so he got sacked for doing nothing for three months," he added.
