Gillespie accused Javed of trying to secure the coaching role in all formats by working behind the scenes.
"No final in Pakistan after such a heavy investment on the venues is a blow," former captain Rashid Latif told AFP. "Pakistan is at the lowest level in terms of finances and team-wise as well, which is a double loss."
There was no place for senior batsman Babar Azam in the T20 side while Rizwan was also left out of a young squad as Pakistan look ahead to the T20 Asia Cup in September and next year's T20 World Cup.
The ex-wicketkeeper's comments follow Pakistan’s Champions Trophy disaster
The title-holders lost their opening game to New Zealand by 60 runs in Karachi last week before Sunday's six-wicket defeat to arch-rivals India pushed them to the brink of an early exit.
"In 2025 Pakistan was playing the cricket style of the 1980s and 1990s while other teams had progressed well to adopt an aggressive and modern style," Shahid Afridi told AFP.
Ramiz’s remarks may spark debate over whether fixture sequencing had a genuine impact on their campaign, or if their performances were simply not up to the mark. Regardless, their premature exit from the Champions Trophy will be a tough pill to swallow for the hosts and their fans.
In a video on social media, the former Pakistan speedster said he was well aware in advance that Pakistan was going to lose to India. He blamed “clueless management” for Pakistan’s poor performance.
Basit also slammed the PCB for having focused on making a statement as the host nation rather than building a strong team for the tournament.

Reports from ESPNcricinfo and Deccan Herald suggest that the PCB is unhappy that the word “Pakistan” was missing from the broadcast logo in the top-left corner -- something that had been visible in other matches.
