Jason Gillespie accuses Aaqib Javed of conspiracies

Former Pakistan red-ball coach Jason Gillespie has lashed out at interim head coach Aaqib Javed and accused him of conspiracies.

Jason Gillespie made these remarks on social media in response to Aaqib Javed’s comments about Pakistan’s poor show in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy.

During a presser in Lahore, Aqib had stated that “no excuse, Pakistan team did not play well”.

He went on to blame frequent changes in coaching staff and selectors in recent years for Pakistan cricket downfall.

“We changed 16 coaches in the last two and half years and 26 selectors. If you do this to any team around the world, their performance will be like this too,” he told media in Lahore.

However, Gillespie claims that Javed was responsible for his own and Gary Kirsten’s removal as coaches.

Gillespie shared Javed’s statement on Instagram, adding his own commentary:

“This is hilarious. Aaqib was clearly undermining Gary and I behind the scenes, campaigning to be the coach in all formats. He is a clown” 🤡

It is worth mentioning here that, Pakistan were eliminated from the tournament following defeats against New Zealand and India.

Their match against Bangladesh was washed out and finished at the bottom of Group A.
