When will Pakistan red-ball coach Jason Gillespie arrive in Pakistan?

Pakistan's red-ball head coach, Jason Gillespie, is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on July 7 to oversee a pre-season fitness camp in Karachi.

The former Australian bowler will also coach the Shaheens during their tour of Australia, where they will play two four-day matches against Bangladesh A.

A pre-season fitness camp, which began on June 24 and ends on July 7, is currently taking place. Afterward, the squad will be trimmed to a 15-member team for a training camp from July 8-13, preparing for their tour to Darwin.

In Darwin, the Shaheens will play two four-day matches against Bangladesh A, two 50-over matches against Northern Territory and Bangladesh, and participate in the nine-team Top End T20 Series, according to a PCB press release.

Gillespie will supervise the training camp from July 8-13 and will travel to Darwin as the team's head coach. He will return to Pakistan after the second four-day match against Bangladesh A on July 29 to resume his duties as the national side's head coach and prepare for the two-Test series against Bangladesh.

The pre-season fitness and fielding camp is being supervised by Mohammad Masroor, who will also travel to Darwin as Assistant Coach-cum-Manager. Abdul Rehman will be the white-ball head coach and will join the team on July 28 for the 50-over and T20 matches from August 4-18.

National players currently competing in the UK or recently involved in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 are exempt from the camp.
