Pakistan: Pakistan have appointed former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten as head coach of their men's white-ball teams, while the test side will be under the guidance of former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie, the country's cricket board said on Sunday.

Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood will assist both head coaches, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said.

"They're both very famous coaches and their arrival gives you 100 per cent confirmation of the trust that they have in our team's potential," PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi told reporters.
