According to Gillespie, Pakistan has the ability to compete with any team in the world, but they need to support the right players and give them enough time to develop and improve.
Jason Gillespie strongly criticized the legend of India Sunil Gavaskar for comparing Pakistan with team B of India, calling him “without absolute meaning.”
Pakistan had a difficult time at the Champions Trophy 2025. They lost two games, and their third game was dragged due to rain. In the group stage, they were easily beaten by New Zealand and India.
Pakistan would fight against team B of India – Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar, while talking with Sports today, spoke about the strong strength of the Bank of India. He said that even the second team in India (team b) could give Pakistan a difficult fight in its current form. However, I wasn’t sure if a third team (team c) could do the same. He believes that Pakistan will have difficulty overcome team B of India.
“I think a team B (from India) certainly (can give Pakistan a career for his money). C team, I’m not sure. But a team B will be very, very difficult to win for Pakistan in its current form, ”said Gavaskar.

Gillespie defends Pakistan against Gavaskar’s comments
Jason Gillespie did not agree with the comments of Sunil Gavaskar about team B or C of India to overcome Pakistan. He dismissed the claim, making it clear that he does not believe in this idea.
According to Gillespie, Pakistan has the ability to compete with any team in the world, but they need to support the right players and give them enough time to develop and improve. He stressed that if Pakistan selects the best players and allows them to grow with consistent opportunities, they have the potential to overcome anywhere.
“I don’t buy this rhetoric. I saw some comments by Sunil Gavaskar about the Indian B or Indian C team that beat the Superior Pakistan team. That is nonsense. Absolute nonsense. If Pakistan chooses and stays with the right players and gives them time to shine, time to learn and develop their games, you can overcome anyone. I have no doubt about that, ”said Gillespie.
Pakistan needs long -term planning, not rapid solutions
The former coach emphasized that for Pakistan’s crying to improve and achieve better results, the PCB must make the right decisions at all levels. He feels that he starts having the right people, such as a solid selection panel, and giving players enough to develop and play.
Gillespie also emphasized stability in leadership, stating that if a new coach is hired, he should be given enough time to implement significant changes. According to him, without adequate patience and support, Pakistan will continue to face the same struggles as before.
“If the PCB, as a board, wants to change and obtain the correct results, need to obtain the right people, the correct selection panel and give the players time to bloom and do their job. If you are hiring a new coach, give it the opportunity to do something significant, take time. Otherwise, the results will be the same, ”he added.
