Former Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie has confirmed he is still waiting for outstanding payments from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), months after stepping down from his role in December 2024.
Speaking in a recent interview, Gillespie acknowledged that the matter remains unresolved, stating only: “It’s ongoing. Let’s just leave it at that.”
The former Australian international had earlier made the issue public, and his latest remarks suggest the dispute could escalate further.
The PCB, meanwhile, maintains that a breach of contract is the reason for the delayed payment.
Gillespie’s short tenure came during a significant structural shake-up within Pakistan cricket, which also saw Gary Kirsten appointed to oversee white-ball squads.
However, the dual-coach model soon collapsed. Gillespie exited just before the scheduled Test series against South Africa, reportedly frustrated by internal board decisions.
The situation highlights the challenges that can arise in managing international coaching appointments and the complexities of cross-border contractual agreements. Earlier this year, Gillespie announced he would take legal action against the PCB over non-payment.
While the specifics of the case remain private, the matter adds a layer of attention to how cricketing bodies navigate the administrative side of high-profile appointments.
For Gillespie, one of Australia’s most respected coaching figures, the wait for compensation and closure continues.
