New Delhi. Pakistan cricket team has got a new head coach before the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced 3 different coaches on Sunday. Former South African player Gary Kirsten will take over as the head coach of the Pakistan team in white ball cricket, while former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie will coach the Pakistani players in Test cricket. Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood will be the assistant coach of the team in all formats.
After the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, PCB made many changes in its support staff. The board changed everyone from coach to captain. Pakistan team had missed qualifying for the semi-finals in the World Cup held in India. After that, PCB had made Shaheen Afridi the captain of the T20 team, but after the series defeat against New Zealand, PCB has again handed over the captaincy to Babar Azam. Similarly, he also made changes in coaching. Azhar Mahmood was made the interim coach in the T20 series against New Zealand.
