Yesterday, it was reported that Mickey Arthur arrived in Islamabad for a three-day visit to meet the national team and newly appointed coaching staff during the white ball series.
Additionally, it is reported that Arthur will hold a meeting with PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi, Chief Selector, Haroon Rasheed, and Babar Azam before leaving for England.
Earlier this month, PCB announced a six-member coaching setup, headed by Mickey Arthur, to revamp the national team and improve its performance in the upcoming seasons.
It confirmed that the 54-year-old will permanently join the squad for the ODI World Cup in October and the highly-anticipated Test series against Australia in December.
Earlier, Mickey stated that he was in touch with all of the Pakistani players, even though he was not a member of the national setup, and that he had seen these young players grow.
