The former Pakistan captain, Rashid Latif, has reacted to the former coach and Australian legend Jason Gillespie about men in Green after his disastrous campaign in the champions trophy of the ICC 2025. Rashid Latif said that Jason Gillespie did not inspire Aaqib Javed Javed (PCB) and Country Cricket.
Recently, Gillespie took a blow to the Pakistan Cricket system, calling him a joke, and Latif said he waited for such comments as soon as the former test coach returned to Australia. Latif also expressed his wonder that the same forces that led to the exits of Gary Kirsten and Gillespie are now supporting Aaqib Javed and even gave him the roles of selector and coach Head.
Jason Gillespie referred to our system as a joke: rashid latif
Rashid Latif was summoned by the Cricket Pakistan: “Jason Gillespie referred to our system as a joke. I had the feeling that he would do this once he came back. The same power that caused the departure of Gary Kirsten and Gillespie has now been given to Aaqib Javed. We have made AAQIB Javed both the selector and the chief coach. ”

He questioned the decision making of the PCB and said that the Board lacks balance and must rethink its approach to avoid greater interruption. He has emphasized that Pakistan’s Cricket urgently needs structural changes, while highlighting how foreign coaches maintain high standards and do not compromise their principles, and that eventually leads teams to success.
Rashid Latif says that foreign coaches do not compromise the principles
Latif even remembered how the strict discipline of Mickey Arthur made Pakistan the best classified T20i team. He also cited his own experience as a chief coach of Afghanistan, since he revealed that his players really respect the chief coach and always try to learn from them. But in Pakistan, players have become larger than the game itself, and the results are facing the entire world.
The former Cricket player also explained: “Foreign coaches do not commit to the principles. When he was the chief coach of Afghanistan, the players respected the chief coach as a father and tried to learn from him. Today, the results speak for themselves. In our system, players have become larger than the game. “

Rashid Latif hits Babar Azam’s father by inappropriate trick
On the controversy that surrounds Babar Azam, Latif said bluntly that if Babar believes he has been defamed, he should do legal actions instead of participating in an unnecessary drama on social networks. He also criticized his father’s public outbreak, calling him an inappropriate trick.
Latif signed by saying: “If Babar Azam feels that someone has made wrong comments on him, he should send a legal notice. I have done it myself, but his father’s reaction on social networks was inappropriate. “
In particular, Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten had renounced their positions after PCB snatched the selection power. The men in Green will be in action in the White-Ball series in New Zealand after finishing their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign without a single victory.
