NEW DELHI: Gary Kirsten resigned as Pakistan's limited-overs coach right before the Pakistan tour of Australia. His resignation follows the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) restructuring coaching roles and removing head coaches from the selection committee after Pakistan's recent loss to England in the first Test.
Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria supported Kirsten's decision. In an interview with The Times of India.com, Kaneria stated, "If you bring someone in and expect him to perform wonders early on, it's not possible. That's the only reason he didn't like how things went after the World Cup - people were trolling him, the media was trolling him, everything."
