The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has removed Tim Nielsen from his role as assistant coach ahead of the upcoming Test series in South Africa, which is set to commence on December 26. In light of the PCB’s choice not to extend Tim Nielsen’s contract, Pakistan’s Test head coach, Jason Gillespie, is said to be re-evaluating his own position. Tim Nielsen, who assumed the role of high-performance red-ball coach in August, had his short-term contract conclude after Pakistan’s tour of Australia, which was overseen by Gillespie.
