NEW DELHI: Gary Kirsten's short tenure as Pakistan's white-ball head coach appears to be coming to an abrupt end, just a day after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) named Mohammad Rizwan as the new full-time white-ball captain and announced fresh central contracts. While there has been no official statement from the PCB, reports suggest Kirsten will not be traveling with the team for their upcoming tour of Australia and Zimbabwe.
According to Cricbuzz, serious differences have emerged between Kirsten and the players, as well as disagreements with the PCB over coaching staff decisions. Kirsten had reportedly requested the appointment of David Reid as High Performance coach, a suggestion that did not align with the PCB's preferences, leading to tensions. The board allegedly proposed alternatives, which Kirsten found unacceptable.
