The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former fast bowler Aqib Javed as the interim head coach of the Pakistan men's cricket team until the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Javed, a former Pakistan international, takes over the interim coaching duties from Jason Gillespie, who is currently overseeing the side in Australia. Gillespie had taken over the role following the resignation of Gary Kirsten.

Gillespie will continue to be the head coach of the red-ball side and will rejoin the side for the upcoming Test tour of South Africa.

During this tenure, Aqib will continue to serve as a senior member of the men's national selection committee and will be assigned additional responsibilities following the conclusion of the eight-team tournament.
