Jason Gillespie Blasts Aaqib Javed Over PCB's Shocking Decision

Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie has lashed out at Aaqib Javed, the PCB's director of cricket, over the controversial decision to send seven players back from England. Gillespie, who is known for his straightforward approach, called on Javed to 'look in the mirror' and reflect on the handling of the situation.

The decision by the PCB to recall the players has sparked widespread criticism, with many questioning the communication and transparency of the process. Gillespie's comments come as a stark reminder of the governance issues that have plagued Pakistani cricket.

'It's a complete mess. The players were hearing about their dismissal through their families. This is not professional, and it's not how you treat your players,' Gillespie said. 'Aaqib needs to take a long, hard look at himself and the way he's managing the team.'

The players, who were part of the Pakistan squad in England, were reportedly sent back without any official communication from the PCB. This has raised concerns about the internal management and the respect shown to the players.

Gillespie, who has extensive experience in international cricket, emphasized the importance of clear communication and respect for the players. 'You don't treat your players like this. It's a complete lack of professionalism and respect,' he added.

The controversy has also raised questions about the future of the players and the overall direction of Pakistani cricket. The PCB has faced similar issues in the past, and this incident has only added to the growing list of governance problems.

As the situation continues to unfold, the cricket community waits to see how the PCB will address these issues and whether any changes will be made to prevent such incidents in the future.
