Jason Gillespie, the head coach of the Pakistani Test team, has said that Shaan Masood will be the captain in the 2 Test matches against Bangladesh and Babar Azam will play as the player.
According to the details, Jason Gillespie said that as a coach, I try to play a role in making the Pakistan team a top team in a transparent and honest manner. Build a strong team.
The head coach said that I will not have any role in the selection of the domestic teams, I will try to inform the players with the help of the domestic coaches. There is three times more bowling, the workload will be managed to keep the players fresh or it could be a problem for them, it is up to them to decide which format they feel better in.
The head coach added that I coached for the first time in ICL in India in 2007, after that I have coached in IPL in India, Yorkshire County in England and in Australia, I coached the Test team for the first time. Got the assignment, coaching Pakistan is really challenging but I enjoy working in the challenge.
He said that in the meeting with the PCB officials in Lahore, Gary Kirsten was also present and the board has told us its policy, Shaan Masood will be the captain in the Bangladesh series, Babar Azam will play at number four. I have not given him any special plan in the meeting, but I am trying to make him play his role in batting and win us the match.
Jason Gillespie said that we have 9 Tests to go to the Test Championship final, I will try to have a large pool of players in the Test team so that we have bowling and batting backup.
