Ricky Ponting discusses Jason Gillespie as Green Shirts’

Ricky Ponting, former Australian captain, said Jason Gillespie’s record as Pakistan’s Test coach has been good with every squad he has worked with. Jason Gillespie resembles Gautam Gambhir. He has had great coaching results everywhere. He’ll face challenges, no doubt. However, he is a deep thinker and quiet person who does things his own “Ponting said.

The ex-pacer became Pakistan’s red-ball coach before the T20 World Cup 2024 and will coach the two-Test series against Bangladesh. The old guys who played together have had several WhatsApp groups throughout the years. Ponting said everyone congratulated Gillespie and wished him luck in his new post.

He compared his old teammate to Gautam Gambhir and said the Aussie will face issues with India. The former Australian skipper said Pakistan’s coaching changes were expected after their disastrous T20 World Cup campaign, in which the Babar Azam-led team exited the group stage for the first time in tournament history. “Honestly, I’m not surprised by that group’s adjustments. Though it’s a new format, the T20 World Cup was disappointing. If you don’t change, you’ll get the same consequences “said.
