Former Pakistan red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie found himself embroiled in a controversy with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over pending salary dues. Gillespie, the former Australian pacer, recently claimed that the PCB still owes him part of his salary from his nine-month tenure with the team. However, the PCB has firmly denied the allegations, stating instead that it is Gillespie who owes money to the board.

Gillespie was appointed as the head coach of Pakistan’s Test team in April 2024, but his stint came to an abrupt end in December last year. He cited irreconcilable differences with the board as the reason for his resignation. In a recent interview with Geo Super, Gillespie disclosed that he has yet to receive the complete payment for the duration of his contract. “I’m still waiting for some of my payment for the nine months I worked with the team,” he said.
