"He's A Clown": More Drama In Pakistan Cricket As Coach Faces Brutal Criticism From Jason Gillespie

Former Australia speedster Jason Gillespie took a jibe at Pakistan's interim head coach Aaqib Javed for undermining them during their stint with the Men in Green and running a campaign "behind the scenes" to take their role across all formats.

South Africa batsman David Miller said his team's hop to Dubai and back ahead of their Champions Trophy semi-final defeat to New Zealand in Lahore was "not ideal". The tangled scheduling of the event came into question as Australia and South Africa both had to fly to Dubai from Pakistan ahead of the semi-finals. South Africa were there for less than 24 hours before jetting back again without playing a game. Australia stayed and lost in the last four to India. The haphazard scheduling was a result of India playing all their games in Dubai after refusing to travel to tournament hosts Pakistan for political reasons.
