Former Pakistani head coach Mickey Arthur expressed his joy at reconnecting with the team and said the Pakistan Cricket Board has given him another chance (PCB)
Arthur, who previously guided the Pakistani team from 2016 to 2019, has agreed to act as the team director and would do so remotely.
The previous coach is currently carrying out his duties as head coach at Derbyshire. “As dear to me as Pakistan is Derbyshire. I have been expressing to Najam Sethi how important Derbyshire is to me “Added he.
“I’m only one year into a four-year project here, and I’m under contract. I’m confident that it is feasible given my plan and the timetable I’ve established. But we’re still working through the details right now.”
“I have been in touch with the Pakistani guys and we get along great. I’ve watched them mature in front of my eyes. The difficulty is that they have grown into men with egos now; when I had them, they were young lads, the 54-year-old explained.”
Managing Pakistan’s team, according to Arthur, would be crucial, but he gets along well with all the players. “I’m so eager to bring all of it together. I am confident that I can, and the deal will appeal to both Pakistan and Derbyshire “He spoke out.
Apparently, the former Pakistani coach won’t be needed to accompany Pakistan on any bilateral tours, including Sri Lanka’s visit of England in June and July.
Nonetheless, the former cricketer is anticipated to be present at the Pakistani team’s training camp prior to the ODI World Cup, which is slated to begin in October.
In 2017, Pakistan won its first-ever Champions Trophy championship under Arthur’s direction. Moreover, Pakistan won a record 11 straight T20I series.
