The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former Australian first-class player Tim Nielsen as the new red-ball high-performance coach, joining forces with newly appointed head coach Jason Gillespie. The duo will oversee the team’s preparation for the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh.
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.
