"Utterly Blindsided": Jason Gillespie Reveals Real Reason Behind Decision To Quit As Pakistan Coach

Jason Gillespie has revealed he had no clear communication with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the playing eleven before a matchday and added his role as their red-ball coach had reduced to him hitting catches.
