Cricket: Predecessor describes Pakistan’s coach as a clown after Champions Trophy disaster

# Cricket: Pakistan’s previous Test head coach, Jason Gillespie, describes his successor, Aaqib Javed, as a clown and accuses him of undermining him and former white-ball coach, South African Gary Kirsten, so he could take over their roles. Both resigned late last year after being appointed in April. Javed said on social media Pakistan’s recent poor form can be contributed to a lack of continuity around selectors and coaches. Gillespie says Javed and the selectors should take responsibility for the hosts’ poor performance in the Champions Trophy.
