Jason Gillespie tells Aaqib Javed to look in the mirror after PCB sacks seven players
Jason Gillespie said the PCB's decision to sack seven players without direct notification showed poor governance.
Jason Gillespie criticised Aaqib Javed after the PCB sent seven players home from England following their removal from the tour squad. The sacked players learned of their dismissal through family members rather than official channels.
Gillespie said the handling reflected poorly on the selection process and left players without direct communication from the board. The incident follows earlier concerns about governance at the PCB.
The board has not issued a detailed statement on the criteria used for the removals. The remaining squad continues preparations for the ongoing series.

When senior coaches publicly question board processes, the message reaches current and future players. The episode risks accelerating departures from Pakistan's talent pool at a time when red-ball depth is already thin.
