The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has denied the claims and released a statement alleging Jason Gillespie’s breach of the contract terms by not fulfilling the four-month notice period.
The PCB has appointed Jason Gillespie and South African Gary Kirsten as the red-ball and white-ball coaches, respectively, on two-year contracts.
However, the results didn’t favour the Pakistan Cricket team, and the board withdrew much of the authority given to them.
After six month later, both Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie forced to resign. Since then, Gillespie has often criticised the PCB for their operations and handlings of things.
He recently claimed that he is still waiting for some remuneration from the board. “The Pakistan Cricket Board refutes claims made by a former head coach on the non-payment of his dues,” the board declared in its statement.
“The PCB spokesman states that the former head coach abruptly left his position without giving a four-month notice period, which was a clear breach of the contractual terms. The coaching contract explicitly mentioned a notice period applicable to both parties, and the coach was fully aware of it,” it added.
Recently, Jason Gillespie fave an interview to a local new outlet from Pakistan and said he is disappointed about not getting the remuneration from his stint as red-ball coach.
“Yeah, without going into the details, obviously still waiting on some remuneration from work that has been done. So just navigate through that in due course. Admittedly, that has been a little bit disappointing but look, hopefully that can get sorted sooner rather than later. So yeah, hopefully, that gets sorted as soon as possible,” he added.
Pakistan has invited applications for the positions of national team’s head coach and director of its high performance centre in Lahore on its official website on Saturday.
Pakistan Cricket Board has set May 05 as the deadline for interested candidates to apply for the head coach position.
Pakistan is set to play a three-match T20I and ODI series against West Indies starting by the end of the July.
