Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali warned Gary Kirsten that he would be fired by PCB after the Champions Trophy.
A former cricketer has warned Pakistan head coach Gary Kirsten that he will get sacked by the PCB after next year’s Champions Trophy. Pakistan cricket has been going through tough times after their back-to-back underwhelming performances in the ICC events and red-ball cricket. It all started with the ODI World Cup last year, where Pakistan failed to qualify for the semi-final and lost to a young Afghanistan side in the round-robin stage.
Kirsten, who guided India to the 2011 ODI World Cup triumph, was named Pakistan cricket team’s white-ball head coach earlier this year. However, things didn’t go well for him in the T20 World Cup, where they suffered a group-stage exit after defeats against USA – a non-Test playing nation and arch-rivals India in the USA leg of the tournament.
