Arafat, who played 11 ODIs, 13 T20Is, and 3 Tests for Pakistan, has lived in England since his retirement, where he has been working in various positions and coaching teams at the junior level.

In 2019, he reportedly applied for the position of Pakistan's bowling coach, but Waqar Younis ultimately filled the role under the new coaching panel led by Misbah-ul-Haq.
