PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced that former Pakistan white-ball coach Gary Kirsten ended his contract. This departure was due to alleged breaches on his part. Kirsten, who famously led India to their 2011 World Cup victory, reportedly left after the PCB curtailed the coaching staff’s role in player selection. Naqvi, however, clarified that it was Kirsten who chose to terminate the agreement.
Gary Kirsten’s Alleged Contract Breaches
According to Naqvi, Kirsten made “some breaches” of his contract with the PCB, though details regarding these breaches were not disclosed. While the PCB chairman confirmed Kirsten’s actions led to the contract’s dissolution, he refrained from elaborating on specific infractions. This statement contradicts earlier reports suggesting that the departure resulted from a power struggle over team selection.

PCB’s Side of the Story
The announcement underscores a larger issue within the PCB as tensions rise over coaching roles and selection authority. While Naqvi remained tight-lipped about the exact reasons behind Kirsten’s decision, he was clear that the termination was initiated by the former head coach. Naqvi’s brief comment suggests that the Board views Kirsten’s exit as a unilateral decision rather than a mutual parting.
No Response from Kirsten Yet
Kirsten has not yet publicly responded or shared his side of the story, leaving the cricket world speculating about the rift. His silence maintains an air of mystery around the actual circumstances. The departure has yet to be addressed directly by the former coach.
