“I think there are always frustrations from time to time,” Gillespie said in an interview with Sky Sports Activities. “For me, when I joined Pakistan cricket, I was told there was a long-term plan and we had to make sure our communication was spot on. I made that a real focus and therefore you can get frustrated if those things They are not made as you would like.
“It wasn’t what I signed up for, I’ll be totally fair. But those are those conditions where you want to walk with the tide. Like I said, I’m in a different atmosphere and things are It can be achieved in another way. You can be “Agree or wrong with the way things are achieved, but ultimately I am here to help the Pakistan team do well, help the players recover and get stronger.”
“A number have been changed. Since I was concerned, we are already in our third variety panel. Those are the things that they just gave you to speed everything up and needless to say we are in a different atmosphere and I walk with the tide. I do a series of questions and ask for readability, which, as lead tutor, I am within my right to invite.
“But I want to make it very clear that everyone in Pakistan wants the best and there are a lot of very passionate people here. That drives me to continue helping the players, and so far it’s been a great experience working with them. I’m really excited about what we’re getting. what the future holds and as a coach.
Gillespie also said there was a learning curve in his own studies and felt the only thing he could do was flog herbalism while he ruled the PCB.
“A lot of things change in Pakistan in the blink of an eye. You just take it in your stride and understand that this is the environment you are in. I always have to remember that I am a foreigner in Pakistan and I have to respect that and that things are probably done differently to what I’m used to or what I expect in the environment I come from in Australia, so not saying one way is right or wrong or whatever, it’s just different and. “You just have to adjust and adapt.”
“He has had a bad run but I don’t think there are many great players who have never had a bad run. I am very confident that Babar will again score a lot of runs for Pakistan in all formats.”
Gillespie backs Babar to build solid comeback
However, Gillespie’s relationship with the players has never been in doubt. He praised captain Masood as “the epitome of calm” and stated that he considered taking good care of the avid players as his number one task. This is a practice he has achieved during his short tenure and in which he asked former Pakistan players for help.
“I’m very protective of the players and the staff that I work with and I just want to make sure that the environment that we’re trying to create is a safe space for everyone and if that erodes, it can lead to a little bit of harm.” of frustration.
“A lot of ex-players have their own length on social media, YouTube, anyway, and they get paid to give an opinion. One thing I’ve noticed is that the players know everything and in the Si they get some specific comments from ex-players that they idolized as children, that works very well when they receive some reinforcement, but it could also have a different effect if there is a lot of complaining from former avid players.
“What I can say is that Babar is a great player. He has had a bit of a slant area, but I don’t think there are many admirable players around who have never had a slant region. I am very confident that Babar will probably score a number again. of runs for Pakistan in all formats. He is too good a player, in fact, he works under the sun on his game, he can be very precise with his preparation “We have a negligible excess of position in the next year for Pakistan. “.
