Pakistan Cricket Board: Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie has earned a reputation for staying grounded in the face of triumphs and challenges. After Pakistan’s stunning 152-run victory over England in the second Test, Gillespie deflected praise, attributing the bounce-back win to the team’s resilience and decisions made by others.

The victory in the second Test at Multan tied the series 1-1 and set up a thrilling decider in Rawalpindi, but Gillespie made it clear that the changes leading to success were out of his hands.

In the wake of a heavy innings defeat in the first Test, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) restructured its selection committee, excluding both Gillespie and captain Shan Masood from the decision-making process. Aleem Dar and Aaqib Javed were brought in as selectors, which meant Gillespie’s role narrowed to match-day strategy and player preparation.
