“I am personally in negotiations with Mickey and we have resolved 90 percent of issues. Hopefully, we will very soon share the news that Mickey will be joining us. I’d like him to build his own team of coaches once he is here,” Najam Sethi said last week.
However, earlier, Arthur refused a deal with Pakistan Cricket. PCB said despite negotiations, it was proving difficult to convince Arthur to join as Pakistan coach or consultant on a time-sharing basis.
Mickey Arthur will coach us online? Lmao! What sort of clownery is this from Najam Sethi and his management committee. Misbah would have been a much better coach than this absolute mockery. Mind you it’s a WC year as well. and then they’ll only blame Babar. Hopeless! #PCB

“Owing to his long-term contract with Derbyshire, we have also discussed a proposal to act as a consultant to the PCB on a time-sharing basis with Derbyshire. Unfortunately, however, this option is proving difficult to materialise for various reasons on both sides,” the PCB said in a statement on January 10.
Arthur guided Pakistan to clinch ICC Champions Trophy 2017, beating India in the final after joining in 2016. However, he parted ways after Pakistan failed to qualify for the knockout stages of 2019 World Cup.
