PCB Rejects Claims After Ex Pakistan Coach Jason Gillespie's Revelation About Unpaid Remuneration

Former Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie made a shocking revelation, saying the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is yet to clear some of his remuneration, but the board respond saying that the Australia pacer is the one that will need to pay after leaving his role early.

Gillespie, who was appointed as the Pakistan men's red ball coach last year in April, quit his post in December last year due to his differences with the cricket board. Since leaving the role, Gillespie has been one of the open critics of PCB.

According to Geo Super, the former Aussie quick had revealed in an interview to a local sports platform that he still awaits the remuneration of his nine-month stint as the head coach of the Pakistan men's team.

"Yeah, without going into the details, obviously still waiting on some remuneration from work that has been done. So just navigate through that in due course," Gillespie was quoted as saying on Geo Super. "Admittedly, that has been a little bit disappointing but look, hopefully that can get sorted sooner rather than later. So yeah, hopefully, that gets sorted as soon as possible."

In fact a report from Pakistan Cricket website also revealed that Gillespie's agent had written a mail to the PCB 's HR department a few days ago, requesting clearance of the alleged outstanding payments.

The same report also added a PCB spokesperson's response, which denies that the board has to clear any payment, adding that the whole episode is being misrepresented and if at all any payment should be made it should be Gillespie paying the board for not fulfilling his contract.

"As per the contract, if PCB had terminated Jason Gillespie's services, we would have been liable to pay him four months' salary. But if he resigned, he was required to give prior notice and pay four months' salary to the board," a PCB spokesperson was quoted as saying on Pakistan Cricket. "Since Gillespie himself withdrew from the role, he is the one who owes PCB four months' salary. Therefore, his claim of unpaid dues is incorrect."
