Something looking wrong with PCB! Pakistan Head Coach gives rise to Questions by refusing to travel with Team to South Africa for Tests

Pakistan red-ball coach Jason Gillespie has declined to join the Pakistan Test team for the upcoming two-match assignment against South Africa, set to begin December 22. Pakistan team is currently in South Africa for three-match ODI series followed by three-match T20I series.

After finishing the series, both the teams will face each other for the two-match Test series. According to reports from Cricbuzz, Jason is upset with a few recent decisions of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He was was supposed to fly out to South Africa along with the Test squad via Dubai, but there was no sign of him. It is believed that he has given in his resignation.

The report also stated that Jason has not been happy with the PCB for quite some time, especially since he got kept out from some important decisions during the recent home series against England. The last point of breakage seemed to be PCB’s decision to not renew the contract of assistant coach Tim Nielsen who was taken by the board in August.

The PCB has appointed two foreign head coaches, and both were unable to survive for even six months. This is not creating any sort of good image of the PCB.

The same report has further added that former Pakistan pacer Aqib Javed has been asked to take interim charge of the red ball tea, especially considering the fact that the upcoming Tests are part of the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
