Former Pakistan Test head coach Jason Gillespie has claimed that the Pakistan Cricket Board still owes him thousands of dollars nearly two years after he left his position.
Gillespie served as Pakistan’s Test coach from April to December 2024, a period that was marked by several disagreements and changes within the team setup.
Speaking about his departure, the former Australian cricketer said he chose not to compromise his principles despite facing tensions during his time with the national side. He claimed that remaining silent and simply accepting decisions made by the board would have been easier, but he decided to stand by his position.
Gillespie also said he had begun to feel that his future with the Pakistan team was becoming uncertain before eventually leaving the role.
His latest comments have brought renewed attention to the circumstances surrounding his departure and his reported financial dispute with the PCB.
The cricket board has previously presented a different account of the matter, maintaining that Gillespie breached the terms of his contract by resigning without completing the required notice period.
The conflicting positions have left questions surrounding the coach’s departure and the financial obligations between the two sides.
Gillespie’s latest claim could reopen discussion about his short tenure with Pakistan and the disagreements that emerged during his time in charge of the Test side.
The former coach has now publicly raised the issue of unpaid money, while the PCB’s earlier position centred on the contractual circumstances surrounding his resignation.
