Pakistan Cricket Board refutes Jason Gillespie’s unpaid dues claims

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has refuted Jason Gillespie's claims of unpaid dues, asserting that the former red-ball head coach prematurely terminated his contract, violating the agreed-upon four-month notice period. Gillespie's departure in December, prior to the South Africa series, reportedly stemmed from disagreements with the board. He has since criticized the PCB, alleging withheld payments for his services.

On Sunday, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) countered the allegations made by Jason Gillespie, the former red-ball head coach for the national men’s team, regarding the alleged non-payment of his dues. The PCB stated that Gillespie himself had ‘abruptly’ terminated his contract.
In an official statement, the cricket board clarified that both the PCB and Gillespie were obligated to adhere to a four-month notice period. However, the former Australian fast bowler reportedly departed from his position prematurely, thereby contravening the agreed-upon contractual terms.

“The Pakistan Cricket Board refutes claims made by a former head coach on the non-payment of his dues,” the PCB declared in its statement.
“The PCB spokesman states that the former head coach abruptly left his position without giving a four-month notice period, which was a clear breach of the contractual terms.
“The coaching contract explicitly mentioned a notice period applicable to both parties, and the coach was fully aware of it.”
Who's that IPL player?
It's worth recalling that Gillespie was appointed as the red-ball head coach in April of the previous year but stepped down from the role in December, just prior to the national men’s team’s white-ball series in South Africa. This resignation reportedly stemmed from disagreements with the cricket board.
Since his departure, Gillespie has become a prominent critic of the PCB.
However, according to recent developments, the former pace bowler has now accused the cricket board of withholding payment for his services, expressing his hope for a swift resolution to the matter.
“Yeah, without going into the details, obviously still waiting on some remuneration from work that has been done. So just navigate through that in due course,” Gillespie stated during an interview with a local news outlet.
“Admittedly, that has been a little bit disappointing but look, hopefully that can get sorted sooner rather than later. So yeah, hopefully, that gets sorted as soon as possible,” he added.
