(Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) Pakistan’s red-ball coach Jason Gillespie has recently made a big statement expressing his disappointment about the lack of role clarity and communication within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

I’m being completely honest, but it’s one of those things where you just need to go with the flow. Right now, I am in a different environment, and things are done differently here. Some may agree and some may disagree on how things are done. But I am here to help the Pakistan team perform well, make the players better and improve. So I have put all my attention and energy into it. It is worth noting that Jason had taken up coaching in Pakistan’s red ball cricket earlier this year, so he said that he had come here with a long-term plan. However, now looking at his relationship with the PCB, it does not seem that he can continue in this role for long. Jason further said- I think there is disappointment from time to time. For me, when I came to the board of Pakistan Cricket, I was told that the plan is for a long term. We needed to make sure our communication was spot on. I made it a real focus and so if those things aren’t done the way you want, you can be disappointed.

Gambhir recently won the IPL 2024 title in his only season as Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. Here is what Ricky Ponting said about Jason Gillespie while speaking on the ICC review: “Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone. I have no doubt he will face some challenges. But he is a deep thinker and as I said, he is a calm guy who does things his way.” Ponting has no doubt that Gillespie will find a way to get the best out of the Pakistani players. I am not surprised by the changes in Pakistan cricket: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said that he is not surprised by the massive changes in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup.

To be honest, I am not surprised at all by so many changes happening in this Pakistan team. I know it is a different format, but they had a very disappointing T20 World Cup. If you are not willing to make some changes, you are expecting similar results.”

Pakistan has struggled to win in all formats since the ODI World Cup in India last year. Since then in white ball cricket, the Babar-led team has suffered defeats against the United States of America (USA), Ireland, England, New Zealand, India and other teams.

There were times in the series when they were dominating the opposition team,” Gillespie was quoted as saying by Geo News. He further said, “Pakistan cricket team is very talented, but lack of consistency in performance is the main problem. We will see how we can bring consistency and stability in performance.” Gillespie further said, “My opinion is that Pakistan’s fielding is their weakness, so this will be my priority. For me, the goal is to see how we play against quality teams.” Pakistan’s Test series against Bangladesh will begin on August 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The second Test will be played on August 30 at the National Stadium, Karachi. Pakistan will want to strengthen its position in the WTC points table by winning both these Test matches.
