Gillespie to ‘Bow Out’ After PCB Decides Against Renewing Nielsen’s Contract

Jason Gillespie, Pakistan’s head coach, has announced his early retirement ahead of the South Africa Test series, following PCB’s decision not to renew assistant coach Tim Nielsen’s contract. Nielsen’s contract expired after the Australia tour, and his absence has caused frustration, as he had expressed commitment to future tours. The board’s focus on local coaches over foreign ones has led to dissatisfaction among key staff.
