Pakistan cricket team will tour England in May. Gary Kirsten is expected to coach in that series. The Pakistan cricket team failed to qualify for the knockout rounds of the 50-over World Cup in India late last year. After this, the team's head coach Grant Bradburn, director Mickey Arthur, bowling coach Morne Morkel and batting coach Andrew Buttick were sacked. And Babar Azam left the captaincy. After this Shaheen Shah Afridi was appointed captain for ODI and T20. Shaun Masood captained the test match.

After this, former player Mohammad Hafeez guided the Pakistan team on the Australian tour. But Mohammad Hafeez was dropped as Pakistan lost the Test series 0-3 and the T20 series 1-4 on that tour. After this, Shaheen Shah Afridi left the captaincy and Babar Azam again took over the captaincy. Following this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) intensified its efforts to appoint a full-time coach. Based on this, currently Gary Kirsten and Gillespie have been appointed.
