Jason Gillespie, who took over as the new head coach of the national cricket team in the Test format, has said that Pakistan will be a team that fans will be proud of.
The former Australian pacer said, “I am a realist and understand very well that the Pakistan team is loaded with expectations.” My job is to reduce the obstacles in the way. Ready for the role of selector along with head coach, it will be a new experience for me.
He said that the support of the fans gives great energy to the players because I think the fans are like the 12th player of the team. That’s how it will be. Continuity and discipline will be important in the Pakistan team in my presence.
The head coach of the Red Ball team said that every team plays cricket according to their abilities, I will talk to the players about what brand of cricket we have to play. I will not ask the team to play like Australia, we can learn positive things from every team.
He said that they will try to select the squad by looking at the conditions and the opponent. He will spend time in Pakistan to monitor the domestic players, with a camp being held very soon which will focus on fitness and skills. Care should be taken to ensure that the players playing each format do not suffer from fatigue.
With cricket happening a lot these days, it is important to rest the players. In cricket, it’s not just the match day, but training time, travel time, that’s all important. I want to make sure that whoever enters the field is 100% fresh. The coach said that he is also in touch with white ball coach Gary Kirsten to manage the workload of the Pakistani players. To improve the game and make it the best team. The common goal of everyone in the team is to make Pakistan successful in Test cricket.
