Will join Pakistan team on permanent basis from World Cup onwards: Arthur

Former head coach of Pakistan team, Mickey Arthur, has revealed that he will join the Men in Green on a permanent basis from 2023 World Cup onwards.

While speaking to BBC’s Test Match Special, Arthur described his consultancy role with Pakistan team as a ‘dream job’, as it allows him to work with Derbyshire County Club as a head coach as well.

"There would be some sort of consultancy role. It won’t be done on Zoom. I’ll get a support staff in for them and have that support staff report in to me. As soon as county season is finished, I will join up for the World Cup and tour of Australia later this year on a permanent basis," Arthur said.

Arthur also revealed that he took up the Pakistan job again on the insistence of PCB management committee chairman, Najam Sethi.

"I worked very well with Najam Sethi when I was in Pakistan. He was the chairman of the board when I started. We had a bit of luck and won the Champions Trophy and our bond sort of grew from there. So when became chairman again, he wanted me to come and help him, but I said I wasn’t prepared to leave County cricket as this is where I am at my happiest," he added.
