“Slap On Our System”: Misbah-ul-Haq’s Scathing Remarks On Mickey Arthur’s Potential Return | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Pakistan skipper and coach Misbah-Ul-Haq opines that the likely re-hiring of Mickey Arthur as national men side's coach is a "slap on Pakistan Cricket". Arthur is likely to return to Pakistan as its team director following Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Najam Sethi's arrival.

It is understood that the board is close to agreeing to a deal with him as a team director, rather than a head coach.If Arthur goes ahead with the role with PCB, it will be his second concurrent coaching ...
