Jason Gillespie calls out CA for prioritising BGT 2024-25 over Pakistan ODIs

Pakistan white-ball head coach Jason Gillespie recently led the Men in Green to a thrilling ODI series against Australia under his stewardship. Having lost the first ODI by a narrow margin, Pakistan managed to defeat Australia across the next two ODIs to overcome the deficit and clinch their first series win in Australia since 2002.

With the ODI leg of the white-ball series concluded, Australia’s stars are now preparing for the upcoming five-game Test series against India as the two sides will lock horns in the iconic Border-Gavaskar series, which starts in Perth from November 22.

Cricket Australia is rampantly in promoting the series, which has left Pakistan coach Gillespie surprised. The head coach revealed that he saw no promotion of the Australia-Pakistan series, with the CA completely prioritising BGT 2024-25.

“To be honest, I pretty much saw no promotion of our one-day series by Cricket Australia, which was a bit of a surprise. It’s pretty obvious that they’re prioritizing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against India because I saw no promotion of this series,” Gillespie told The Sydney Morning Herald.

“Fox do a great job promoting but it was pretty clear to us where CA’s priorities lie. That’s their prerogative and their decision but I just didn’t see any advertising, and promotion of this one-day series at all,” he added.

It was pleasing not just to beat Australia but beat them pretty convincingly: Jason Gillespie

Gillespie talked about Pakistan’s performance against Australia and revealed how exciting it was to beat the Aussies in their own backyard, and that too in a convincing fashion. He also opined that with a three-match T20I series on the horizon, Australia will be looking for solutions to tackle Pakistan’s bowling attack.

“What we saw in this series was our bowling exposed some flaws in the Australian batting. I’m sure the Australians will look to right some wrongs and improve some things. That’s what good players and good teams do, you learn and adjust and adapt and be ready for the next challenge. It was pleasing not just to beat Australia but beat them pretty convincingly,” Gillespie said.
