Gillespie reaches out to ICC over $5 million dispute with PCB: reports

Former Pakistan head coach Jason Gillespie has taken legal action against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), claiming over $5 million in unpaid dues.

In a recent interview with a local social media platform, Gillespie revealed that the PCB had still not paid his outstanding payments. He expressed disappointment over the situation but hoped it would be resolved soon.

The PCB strongly refuted former Test head coach Jason Gillespie's allegation of unpaid dues for his nine-month tenure, stating that the claim is untrue and that Gillespie violated the terms of his contract.

However, the matter has now escalated, as Gillespie has filed a case with the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Dispute Resolution Chamber. According to reports, he alleges that the PCB failed to honour the terms of his coaching contract.

Sources within the PCB have confirmed that their legal advisors are preparing a response to the case. A PCB spokesperson commented, "We respect the legal process. This is a standard contractual dispute and will be resolved soon."

The ICC has reportedly issued notices to both parties, with a hearing expected next month.

Meanwhile, this issue could negatively impact the PCB's reputation on the international stage.
