Pakistan's cricket coaching history is marked by frequent changes, reflecting the team's ever-changing and often tumultuous cricketing landscape.

Since becoming a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICCC), Pakistan has seen an array of head coaches, each bringing their own style and philosophy to the role.

The high turnover rate of head coach changes since 1992 show the challenging and high-pressure environment of Pakistani cricket, where coaches have often been replaced mid-tournament or during series, and some have served multiple stints. Here’s a list of Pakistan head coaches over the years.

One of Australia's finest fast bowlers, Gillespie's coaching career began in Zimbabwe back in 2010 when he took up a role for MidWest Rhinos for young players' nurturing. He became Kings XI Punjab's bowling coach a year later before exploring County Championship opportunities.

Initially, Gillespie became Pakistan's red-ball coach in April 2024 before the Men in Green made a shocking move to part ways with Gary Kirsten, their white-ball head coach who was appointed at the same time. Gillespie then took charge in all three formats.
