Despite being contracted as Pakistan’s head coach, Gary Kirsten has yet to join the team due to his commitments with Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Kirsten’s decision to attend a team meeting remotely via video call has drawn the ire of Pakistan fans. Fans have expressed their frustration on social media, criticizing the lack of in-person coaching and questioning the effectiveness of online instruction. Kirsten’s absence and the team’s reliance on interim coach Azhar Mahmood until his return have also raised concerns among supporters.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former Australian pace bowler Jason Gillespie as head coach of the men’s Test team and ex-South African batter Gary Kirsten as head coach of the one-day side. Gillespie will coach the team during England’s Test tour of Pakistan later this year, while Kirsten will take charge of the white-ball sides during their tour of England in May. Both coaches have signed two-year deals, with former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood assisting them across all formats.
