Jason Gillespie Accuses Aaqib Javed of Undermining Him During Pakistan Coaching Tenure

Former Pakistan cricket coach Jason Gillespie calls interim coach Aaqib Javed a 'clown' and alleges behind-the-scenes maneuvering for the top coaching role.

Jason Gillespie, former Pakistan Test cricket coach, claims Aaqib Javed undermined him and Gary Kirsten to secure the coaching position.
Gillespie resigned in December 2024, less than eight months into his two-year contract, citing challenges within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Aaqib Javed, now interim head coach, attributed Pakistan's poor performance to frequent changes in leadership, with 16 coaches and 26 selectors replaced in two years.
Gillespie responded to Javed's comments by posting on Instagram, calling Javed's analysis 'hilarious' and labeling him a 'clown.'
The PCB continues to search for a full-time head coach while Javed remains in the interim role following Pakistan's early exit from the Champions Trophy.
