According to PCB management committee chairman Najam Sethi, former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur will travel to Pakistan the following week before being formally hired as a consultant to the national side.
Arthur was expected to arrive in Lahore on April 18, Sethi said in an interview with a local cricket website, when Pakistan was hosting a white-ball series against New Zealand.
“The main purpose of his visit is to prepare his team, train them and brief them. He will also discuss his plans with Babar Azam and other players,” he added.
“I stand by my opinion that foreign coaches stay away from politics. They are also usually more professional. Pakistan also has good professional coaches available, but in our culture, friendships carry significant weight in decision-making.” said interim Pakistan Cricket Board head.
