Following Gillespie’s resignation, Pakistan’s interim baseball coach was Aaqib Javed.

Details indicate that Jason Gillespie’s resignation as baseball coach of the national team was explicitly communicated by the board.

As the red-ball coach for the next Test series against South Africa, Javed will assume responsibilities.

Gillespie reportedly chose to step down earlier today.

Details reveal that Gillespie had declined to visit South Africa, stating that he had personal reasons for not going. Tim Nelson’s dismissal as assistant coach did not sit well with Gillespie.

Starting on December 26, Pakistan will play South Africa in the baseball series, with Shan Masood leading the Green Shirts.

In the second Twenty20 International, Pakistan will try to bounce back against South Africa on Friday after the visitors were humiliated by the
Proteas.
