Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten were Pakistan coaches before Aaqib Javed was given the responsibility for all formats by PCB

Gillespie, who quit abruptly as Pakistan's Test coach late last year, accused Javed of plotting to take over as head coach while undermining both him and Gary Kirsten behind the scenes.

Former Pakistan test coach Jason Gillespie labelled his successor Aaqib Javed a "clown" and accused the former fast bowler of undermining him and ex-white-ball coach Gary Kirsten in order to take charge of the national team across all formats.

Jason Gillespie says he was undermined before quitting as Pakistan coach last December and has used a social media post to describe interim head coach Aaqib Javed as a “clown.”

Taking note of Aaqib Javed's comments, Gillespie said the former pacer "undermined" him and Gary Kirsten and "plotted" to become the Pakistan coach himself.
