Gary Kirsten addresses Pakistan white-ball team in virtual meet-up after appointment as head coach

Gary Kirsten’s virtual meeting with the Pakistan white-ball team has sparked mixed reactions among fans. While some are excited about the new coach’s plans and insights, others are skeptical about the effectiveness of an online meeting.

As Kirsten, who previously coached India to a World Cup victory in 2011, addressed the team from his current location in India, fans took to social media to express their opinions. Some fans questioned the impact of a virtual meeting on team bonding and communication, while others expressed optimism about Kirsten’s leadership.

Despite the divided opinions, the Pakistan Cricket Board shared a video from the online meeting, showcasing Kirsten’s interaction with players and coaches. The board also announced that assistant coach Azhar Mahmood will lead the team on the upcoming tour of Ireland and England, with Kirsten potentially joining the squad for the T20 series against England if his IPL commitments allow.

While the online meeting may not have been well-received by all fans, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Pakistan white-ball team under Kirsten’s guidance. With his wealth of experience and success in international cricket, the team will be looking to make strides under his leadership.

As the team prepares for upcoming challenges, including the T20 World Cup later this year, Kirsten’s virtual meeting serves as a crucial first step in aligning the team towards their goals. Only time will tell how effective this new coaching approach will be, but one thing is certain – the Pakistan white-ball team is gearing up for an exciting journey ahead under Gary Kirsten’s tutelage.
