New Delhi: The Pakistan cricket team is plunged into yet another problem as their limited-overs coach, Gary Kirsten is likely to end his stint with the national team. So far there has been no official announcement from the PCB regarding this decision. However, the announcement is likely to come soon. The Pakistan Cricket Board recently announced squads for the white-ball assignments against Australia and Zimbabwe. However, as per reports, the South African will not be accompanying the national team on these two It has also been reported that Kirsten will not be accompanying the teams for those two series. https://twitter.com/ESPNcricinfo/status/1850768731934441528 Why did Kirsten leave? Although the decision taken by Gary's decision is quick and surprising, there were clear fault lines between the coach and the management which is anticipated to be the major reason behind Gary's decision. As per a report from Cricbuzz, there were serious differences between the two sides. Naturally, one decision led to another decision and the lack of understanding between the two sides increased. https://twitter.com/harbhajan_singh/status/1802710553783144500 Kirsten took over Pakistan's white-ball team in mid-May, after completing his assignment with the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He joined the squad in England where Pakistan suffered a bilateral series loss to Jos Buttler's side. The team's struggles continued into the T20 World Cup, with an unexpected defeat against the hosts United States and a close defeat to India which ruined their chances of qualifying for the knockouts of the ICC event. Who will succeed Kirsten? So far, the Pakistan Cricket Board has managed to find no one who can succeed as the Pakistan Cricket Team's white ball coach. Naturally, under such circumstances, the PCB has appointed Pakistan's red ball coach, Jason Gillespie as the interim white ball coach. The Pakistan Cricket Board today announced Jason Gillespie will coach the Pakistan men’s cricket team on next month’s white-ball tour of Australia after Gary Kirsten submitted his resignation, which was accepted. — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) October 28, 2024 Pakistan's white ball teams for Zimbabwe and Australia Australia ODI squad: Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Arafat Minhas, Babar Azam, Faisal Akram, Haris Rauf, Haseebullah (wk), Kamran Ghulam, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
