Jason Gillespie has resigned as head coach of Pakistan’s Test side.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former Australia fast bowler was appointed in April<\/a> on a two-year deal.<\/p>\n

However, the 49-year-old has stepped down with Aqib Javed being named interim red-ball head coach, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said, external<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former South Africa opener Gary Kirsten was named white-ball coach at the same time as Gillespie’s appointment and he resigned in October.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gillespie lost his first series in charge against Bangladesh and was then removed from Pakistan’s selection panel after a heavy defeat by England in the opening Test of their series.<\/p>\n

However, Pakistan went on to clinch the series 2-1.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time Gillespie told Sky Sports there were “frustrations from time to time” and that “it wasn’t what I signed up for, I’ll be completely honest”.<\/p>\n

He then took charge of a white-ball tour to Australia in Kirsten’s absence, winning a one-day series but losing the T20 series.<\/p>\n

Aqib then led the white-ball squad on a tour of Zimbabwe and the former Pakistan paceman has now been asked to lead the red-ball side with a Test series in South Africa starting this month.<\/p>\n

Pakistan are in South Africa for a three-match T20 series followed by three one-day games, before the first Test in Centurion on 26 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
