Former Pakistan coach Jason Gillespie rejected Sunil Gavaskar's argument that even a second-string Indian team is capable of beating Pakistan in one-day cricket. Gavaskar's candid take came after India hammered Pakistan by six wickets in a one-sided Champions Trophy match.

Gillespie says Aaqib undermined him and former white-ball coach Gary Kirsten to grab the coaching job for himself.

Jason Gillespie branded Sunil Gavaskar's verdict on Pakistan team 'absolute nonsense' despite the side's early Champions Trophy exit.

Former Pakistan test coach Jason Gillespie labelled his successor Aaqib Javed a "clown" and accused the former fast bowler of undermining him and ex-white-ball coach Gary Kirsten in order to take charge of the national team across all formats.

Taking note of Aaqib Javed's comments, Gillespie said the former pacer "undermined" him and Gary Kirsten and "plotted" to become the Pakistan coach himself.

Aaqib Javed replaced Jason Gillespie and Gary Kirsten as Pakistan head coach across formats after both resigned following short stints last year.
