LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded to the claims made by former head coach Jason Gillespie about the non-payment of his dues.
In a recent interview, Gillespie claimed that he was still awaiting payment for his nine-month stint with the PCB.
“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,” he said.
The former coach of the Pakistan cricket team was hoping that issue would be resolved in the near future.
“Admittedly, that has been a little bit disappointing but look, hopefully that can get sorted sooner rather than later,” he added.
The PCB rejected Jason Gillespie’s claims, stating that he left the position without serving his notice period.
“The former head coach abruptly left his position without giving a four month notice period, which was a clear breach of the contractual terms,” a spokesperson for the PCB said in a statement.
“The coaching contract explicitly mentioned a notice period applicable to both parties, and the coach was fully aware of it,” it added.
It is worth mentioning that the former Australian pacer was appointed as Pakistan’s Test coach in April last year on a two-year contract.
However, he resigned from the post in December the same year, less than eight months into the job, just before the Pakistan cricket team’s Test series against South Africa.
Months after resigning from the post, Jason Gillespie accused Aqib Javed of campaigning for a coaching role across all formats.
“This is hilarious. Aaqib was clearly undermining Gary and I behind the scenes campaigning to be the coach in all formats. He is a clown,” Gillespie wrote in a social media post.
