Former Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillespie says the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) still owes him thousands of dollars, alleging an unpaid amount after his departure. He also describes his time in the role as involving disrespect and being undermined, and he says he believes Pakistan cricket will continue to decline with Aaqib Javed in charge.
Multiple outlets report Gillespie’s claims that he was warned about the situation before taking the job, framing his remarks as an extension of earlier criticism. The reports also converge on allegations that Javed’s growing influence changed Gillespie’s responsibilities compared with what he expected when he joined—particularly around efforts to revive Pakistan’s fast-bowling culture and prepare for pitches with bounce and carry.
While the outlets vary slightly in emphasis—some focusing more on the unpaid payment dispute, others on Gillespie’s criticism of Javed’s role and internal treatment—they consistently present the same core assertions: Gillespie says the PCB owes him money and that the coaching setup and board decisions have contributed to instability in Pakistan cricket. The coverage also notes broader scrutiny of the PCB’s administration and its handling of coaches and selectors.
