Former Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq on Wednesday criticised PCB’s transfer of probably rehiring Mickey Arthur, terming it as a ‘slap on Pakistan cricket’.

According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, Arthur, a former Pakistan coach, is prone to return to the Pakistan setup as the lads’s group director. This comes after Najam Sethi had taken over as interim chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in December.

It is honest to notice that PCB’s talks with Arthur had fallen off earlier in January, however the board is inching nearer to accepting Arthur as a group director, and never as head coach.

“It’s a slap on our cricket system that we are not able to find a high-profile full-time coach,” Misbah-ul-Haq was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.

“It’s a disgrace that the most effective ones don’t wish to come and we insist on having somebody who’s taking a look at Pakistan as a second possibility.

“I blame our own system, which is vulnerable enough with so many weak lines for anyone to exploit it. We are to be blamed ourselves that we have disrespected and discredited our own people to make a bad image. The present and former lot don’t respect each other, with media and former players using their own YouTube channels for ratings, grossly hitting the credibility and value of our cricket which, as as result, gives an impression that we are not capable,” added the previous coach.

The 48-year-old added that Pakistan have been ‘always under pressure’.

“The Pakistan cricket fan is at all times disgruntled; he’s choosing up issues from the media and is underneath the improper impression. Players talking towards one another with grudges and speaking overtly with disdain simply devalues our group, and that turns into the frequent notion. Our cricket has been continuously underneath strain with wavered and subjective opinions. The sport is hardly a topic of goal and constructive dialogue.

“Cricket is the most popular sport in the country but sadly never hits the headlines in the right way. It’s chaos; former cricketers ridiculing their fellow cricketers on national channels with fans getting the wrong sense. There is no empathy, no respect, and no conducive environment in the cricketing quarter of our country,” added Misbah.

Mickey Arthur, who has coached Pakistan from 2016 to 2019, is at present serving as head coach of Derbyshire County Cricket Club, and may he settle for the job supply from Pakistan, will probably be his second simultaneous teaching job. According to ESPNcricinfo, Arthur won’t be with the Pakistan group on each tour they embark on, as an alternative may have a choose group of assist employees who can be working operations.
