Summary Gillespie claimed that the Pakistan team is playing with fear and that there appears to be no clear selection strategy in place
LONDON (Web Desk) - Former Pakistan red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie has launched a scathing criticism of Pakistan’s chief selector Aqib Javed, urging him to “look in the mirror” and take responsibility for the team’s current situation.
Gillespie claimed that the Pakistan team is playing with fear and that there appears to be no clear selection strategy in place.
The former coach said Javed changes his decisions on a daily basis and pointed out that he has served as chief selector for the past two years.
According to Gillespie, Javed has blamed him and former Pakistan white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten for the team’s current predicament despite both having left their roles some time ago.

“Aaqib Javed needs to look in the mirror and accept responsibility for the current situation,” Gillespie said, while also highlighting an apparent lack of communication between the players and the selection management.
Gillespie further alleged that some players who were dropped from the team learned about their exclusion through family members, friends and the media rather than being informed directly by the authorities.
He described the failure to communicate such decisions directly to players as “extremely disrespectful,” stressing that players deserve to be treated with greater professionalism and respect when decisions are made about their futures.
