Aaqib Javed Named Pakistan's Interim White-Ball Coach Until 2025 Champions Trophy

The Pakistan Cricket Board appoints Javed following Gary Kirsten's resignation, with plans for a permanent coach post-tournament.

Aaqib Javed, a former international fast bowler, will lead Pakistan's white-ball team until the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
Javed replaces Gary Kirsten, who resigned as the white-ball head coach, while Jason Gillespie temporarily filled the position during the recent Australia tour.
Under Gillespie, Pakistan achieved a historic ODI series win in Australia but faced a 3-0 defeat in the T20 series.
The Pakistan Cricket Board plans to initiate the recruitment process for a permanent white-ball coach, aiming for an appointment by the end of the Champions Trophy.
Pakistan's upcoming schedule includes series against Zimbabwe and South Africa, as well as hosting a triangular series with New Zealand and South Africa.
