Umar Gul was subsequently among the two coaches and seven players sent home by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following Pakistan’s defeats in the opening two Tests. Gillespie, who previously served as Pakistan’s Test coach, has also criticised the PCB’s decision to make wholesale changes, but he had little sympathy for Umar Gul’s weather explanation after the heavy Headingley defeat.
The defeat in first Test followed by second Test loss, put Pakistan under immediate pressure and was followed by major changes within the team setup. The PCB eventually removed seven players from the squad, while bowling coach Umar Gul and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed were sacked.
Umar Gul blamed weather for Pakistan's Headingley Test defeat
Pakistan had travelled to England from the West Indies, where conditions were considerably warmer. Gul explained that the team did not get sufficient time to adjust to the much colder conditions before the Test at Headingley.
“It rained, and the weather was cold. Obviously, you need to spend some time in that cold weather. That's why we couldn't bowl that well, and we couldn't execute due to the weather,” he added.
“Give me a spell, Umar”: Jason Gillespie reacts to Gul’s England excuse
“Give me a spell, Umar. Not surprised you’re not bowling coach anymore, champ. How ridiculous is that?” Jason Gillespie said on the ‘Fast Bowling Cartel’ podcast, which also features Glenn McGrath and Damien Fleming.
“It's just chaos. The players are used to this stuff, and it's par for the course. To sack seven players and then request that they stay to meet the King, because it would be embarrassing for the PCB to have only some players. How can you treat people this way? It makes zero sense,” said Gillespie.
