How do you view the PCB’s handling of Gillespie’s payment claims?<\/p>\n

Gillespie, however, has reportedly claimed that the PCB still owes him certain payments, including bonuses for winning a home Test series against England and an ODI series in Australia.
According to media reports, Gillespie has also reached out to the World Cricketers\u2019 Association (WCA) and is considering legal action against the PCB.
\u201cHe didn’t give the required notice period as laid down in the contract and we are acting as per our agreement with him,\u201d the source added.
Gillespie and Gary Kirsten<\/a> were appointed as head coaches for the red-ball and white-ball formats respectively in April last year on two-year contracts. However, both coaches resigned within 7\u20138 months, citing concerns over their authority within the PCB setup.
Following their departures, Aaqib Javed<\/a> was named interim head coach for both formats.
