Jason Gillespie again showed no mercy to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as he recalled how his short tenure as the head coach of the Pakistan National Cricket Team came to an end. PCB appointed Gillespie as part of its long-term planning, which did not take long to change direction.
The appointment of Aaqib Javed gradually shortened the tenure of Gillespie's activity as the Pakistan cricket team coach. The continuous interruption ultimately ended in the departure of the former Australia National Cricket Team fast bowler. Years after leaving the Pakistan cricket team's coaching set-up, the former cricketer never looked shy to talk about them again.
Gillespie's recent comments came days after another snub in the Test team. After two heavy defeats against England, PCB sacked Sarfaraz Ahmed as the team's head coach and Umar Gul as his assistant. Along with the coaches, seven players were also called off from the Test team.
In the last few years, there have been multiple instances when the cricket board reshuffled its squads and the coaching set-ups. Most of the goodbyes between the board and the coaches were not very amicable, like the incident of Jason Gillespie.
PCB still owes me thousands of dollars: Jason Gillespie
The former cricketer claims that the Pakistan Cricket Board still owes him thousands of dollars, but he will never go back there as he has no desire to lose his self-respect.
"The PCB still owes me thousands of dollars, but I was never going to be a yes-man. I wasn’t going to compromise on my principles — I never have throughout my career, and I certainly wasn’t going to change," he told the Telegraph.
Jason Gillespie blames Aaqib Javed for the downfall of Pakistan cricket team
The relationship between PCB and Jason Gillespie started to decrease since the appointment of Aaqib Javed. The interference made by Javed in every possible decision related to the team almost cornered Gillespie. From team selection to managing players, as everything started to be managed by Javed, the former Aussie cricketer thought it better to walk away from the job.
"The appointment of Javed fundamentally altered the landscape. From that moment, my relationship with Pakistan cricket completely changed. Aaqib came in and took over. It appeared to me that he was in charge of absolutely everything," the former Pakistan coach said.
"I went from looking after the Test side, managing that, looking after the players and the staff, and having a role in selection, to having absolutely no role in anything."
He has a strong belief that, behind the recent upheavals in the Test cricket team, Aaqib Javed played a major role from behind the scenes.
"It’s heartbreaking for me to see what’s going on now; it’s a mess. I know the crux of it. It’s Aaqib Javed. He is the problem, and as long as he is there, Pakistan cricket will continue to go backwards," Jason Gillespie continued in the same interview.
