Sri Lanka's head coach Gary Kirsten, known for his coaching achievements, showcased a softer side as he explored Pakistan's natural beauty during a mountain biking adventure in Islamabad. The former South African cricketer, who previously guided India to the 2011 World Cup, was seen cycling through the picturesque Margalla Hills as shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Kirsten, a cycling enthusiast, expressed his gratitude towards the organizers for allowing him to soak in the surroundings. The coach, who prefers to cycle between 8am and 9am, hinted at his interest in visiting Pakistan's northern areas if he gets some time off during the tour. Kirsten, who has had a previous stint with Pakistan's white ball team, is now the head coach of Sri Lanka, aiming to prepare his team for the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Despite a disappointing start to his coaching career, with Sri Lanka losing the opening match against Pakistan, the coach remains optimistic about their performance.
