People were trolling him, the media was trolling him: Danish Kaneria
Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria also opined on Gary Kirsten’s resignation and revealed that he left the role because of constant trolling. He said, "If you bring someone in and expect him to perform wonders early on, it's not possible. That's the only reason he didn't like how things went after the World Cup - people were trolling him, the media was trolling him, everything.”
He added, "So, a guy like Gary will not take that, and Gary has taken a good decision by not continuing with Pakistan. But it's a big loss for the Pakistan team, especially for the youngsters, given the immense experience he brings.”
