LAHORE, Pakistan, Apr 28 (AFP): Pakistan Sunday announced former South African opener Gary Kirsten and ex-Australian paceman Jason Gillespie as head coaches for different formats ahead of the T20 World Cup in June this year.
World Cup-winning coach Kirsten will take over the white-ball teams while Gillespie will look after the Test side on a two-year contract -- the first time Pakistan has employed separate coaches for different formats.
"Both Kirsten and Gillespie are famous and experienced coaches and their appointment confirms the trust the international community has in our team," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi told reporters in Lahore.
He will join the team on the England tour next month where Pakistan will play four Twenty20 internationals.
