PCB opts against renewing assistant coach Tim Nielsen's contract, Jason Gillespie's future in doubt

India TV News  

Pakistan Cricket Board has decided not to renew the contract of assistant coach Tim Nielsen. He wasn't even aware of the fact that he wouldn't have an assistant coach with him on the South Africa tour. This was one of the main reasons white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten quit in October without coaching the men in green in a single ODI. As for Gillespie, he seems set to continue at least for the upcoming South Africa tour and is scheduled to travel to the rainbow nation on December 13 with the first Test of the two-match series scheduled on December 26 in Centurion.
