NEW DELHI: Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali revealed that the former South African cricketer and coach Gary Kirsten was unhappy with the decision to make Mohammad Rizwan the captain of Pakistan's white-ball teams. Basit stated that Kirsten had a different player in mind for the leadership role and thought he had "full authority" over such choices.
The Pakistan cricket team has undergone notable transitions lately, including Rizwan's appointment as the white-ball captain, Kirsten's decision to step down as the T20I and ODI coach, and the hiring of Jason Gillespie as the head coach for all formats.
