Jason Gillespie Named Head Coach of New Hyderabad PSL Franchise

The appointment coincides with the PSL’s eight‑team expansion ahead of a February 11 player auction.

Overview

  • Hyderabad owner Fawad Sarwar confirmed Gillespie’s support staff as Grant Bradburn and Craig White.
  • The Pakistan Cricket Board set the PSL 11 player auction for February 11 after a pre‑auction workshop led by Mohsin Naqvi and Salman Naseer.
  • PSL 11 begins March 26 with Hyderabad and Sialkot joining the league to take the competition to eight teams.
  • Sarwar won the Hyderabad franchise for Rs1.75 billion and said the brand will launch its full name and logo around the auction.
  • Gillespie returns after resigning as Pakistan’s Test coach in December 2024; he has said some remuneration remains unpaid, a claim the PCB denies.
