I’m Extremely Disappointed with PCB’s Decision: Mickey Arthur

Mickey Arthur said that he is ‘extremely disappointed and hurt’ over Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Cricket Committee’s decision to not renew his contract as national team’s coach.

Recent reports claimed that Arthur was hoping for a contract extension. However, his performances did not convince PCB chairman Ehsan Mani and other members of the board.

The final decision was made on Wednesday where PCB decided to completely overhaul the top-tier management, which meant that head coach Mickey Arthur, bowling coach Azhar Mehmood, batting coach Grant Flower and trainer Grant Luden were all axed.

Following the PCB’s decision, Arthur told the AFP:

I am extremely disappointed and hurt. I did my wholehearted effort to lift Pakistan cricket.

Arthur’s contract had expired last month after Pakistan failed to progress to semi-finals of the World Cup. The South African had asked for a two-year extension but was left disappointed.

The cricket board is now looking for a new head coach and Misbah-ul-Haq is the top contender for the position.

    • Nai Wahab bhai, Pakistan itna acha coach deserve hi nai krta. Now he’ll join England Cricket Team and will earn in pounds.

  • ab de villiers or some famous cricketer should be our choice, wahab is right michky ko or kahin job ni milay gi

  • And so are we disappointed in you. After so called preparations for the World Cup 2019, we learnt immediately before the tournament that Junaid Khan and many others who took part in England series are not going to play but Amir & Wahab will be back. Similarly, batting order kept on shuffling as if nobody knows his place. In fact, team was in shambles before it entered the world cup, so much for its preparations.
    Each player was seen playing for himself during English tour. Imam, Hafeez and Babar were seen scoring runs but losing matches as if they were only concerned about their performance and cared hoots about teams prospects. Such a selfish approach overseen/ignored by the management was the main reason for lack of team spirit during the World Cup.

  • Bad decision! PCB should get rid of the politicians within the team and selection committee before gunning for the coaches. Arthur was doing well. The champions trophy win and a decent showing in the WC could have been built upon to finally bring together a unit of 30 good players and turn them into a winning outfit!
