Pakistan red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie won hearts on Tuesday after a video went viral, showing him picking up empty bottles after a training session in Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium ahead of the upcoming third Test against England.

In a heartwarming viral video, Jason Gillespie was seen cleaning the environment around the practice nets by personally picking up discarded plastic bottles.

He carefully gathered the litter, showing his commitment to cleanliness, and disposed of it in a nearby dustbin.

Fans praised Gillespie for his commendable manners and dedication to maintaining a clean space following Pakistan’s practice session at the venue.

The three-match Test series is currently levelled 1-1 and the deciding third match will be played from 24 October to 28 October at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
