Aaqib Javed set to replace Jason Gillespie as Pakistan all-format head coach: Report
Hindustan TimesThe chopping and changing continues within the Pakistan Cricket Board. As per a report in ESPNcricinfo, former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed is set to replace Gillespie as the all-format coach. Recently, former South Africa batter Gary Kirsten had stepped down as Pakistan's white-ball coach, and it was then that Gillespie was asked to go to Australia as the coach for three-match ODI and three-match T20I series. Under Gillespie's tenure, Pakistan had first slumped to a home 2-0 defeat against Bangladesh, but he managed to change things around in the three-match Test series against England, leading the hosts to a 2-1 win. Gillespie also recently oversaw Pakistan's first series triumph in Australia in 22 years, defeating the hosts 2-1 in the three-match ODI series.
