'They Still Owe Me Thousands of Dollars’: Jason Gillespie Exposes PCB, Goes on Tirade Against Aaqib Javed

Jason Gillespie says Pakistan cricket’s coaching overhaul and back-to-back defeats made his job unstable, after seven players and several staff were dropped.

  • Former Australian pacer Jason Gillespie detailed his turbulent tenure as Pakistan Test head coach, citing administrative instability within the Pakistan Cricket Board that undermined his role throughout his eight months in charge.
  • PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi's appointment of Aaqib Javed as chief selector fundamentally altered the landscape, Gillespie said, changing his relationship with Pakistan cricket and shifting his authority overnight.
  • Gillespie revealed he felt 'disrespected and undermined' by Javed, now PCB Director of High Performance, and confirmed the board still owes him 'thousands of dollars' in outstanding compensation.
  • Warning that Pakistan cricket is 'going backwards' under current leadership, Gillespie argued the right coach needs autonomy and time to 'rebuild' the team rather than board interference.
  • Despite being warned about the volatile nature of Pakistan cricket before joining, Gillespie experienced constant shifts in his duties throughout his eight-month tenure, a personal toll he acknowledged.
