Gary Kirsten may resign from the post of coach, Pakistan team’s problems increase before the Champions Trophy

According to the report, serious differences have emerged between Gary Kirsten and the players. Gary Kirsten (Photo Source: There has once again been a big earthquake in Pakistan cricket. Actually, a report is coming out in which it is being said that due to differences with the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board, the head coach of the limited overs team, Gary Kirsten may resign from his post. It is expected that Kirsten will not go on Australia and Zimbabwe tour with Pakistan team. Let us tell you, on both these tours to Pakistan, the team has to play three-match ODI as well as T20 series of the same number of matches. Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squad for the tour of Australia and Zimbabwe on Sunday, October 27 with the new captain Mohammad Rizwan. Just a day after this announcement, the news related to Gary Kirsten’s resignation has surprised everyone. Gary Kirsten has serious differences with players and PCB According to a Cricbuzz report, there are serious differences of opinion between Gary Kirsten and the players, as well as with the PCB over coaching staff decisions. Kirsten reportedly requested the appointment of David Reid as high performance coach, which was not in line with the PCB’s priorities, which led to tension. The board reportedly made alternative proposals, which Kirsten did not like. Gary Kirsten’s tenure with the Pakistan cricket team started in May this year. Even after his arrival, there has been no good improvement in the performance of Pakistan cricket team. The team lost the bilateral series in England, while the team also got eliminated in the group stage in the T20 World Cup held in West Indies and America. Pakistan also had to face defeat from associate team America during this period. There are less than four months left for the ICC Champions Trophy and Pakistan is going to host an international tournament for the first time in more than two decades, so Gary Kirsten’s resignation is a big blow to the Pakistan team and the PCB. Will have to find a head coach for them soon.
