Updated - 02 Feb 2023, 05:13 PM
The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi approached former head coach Mickey Arthur for the position of Pakistan team head coach. The former South African cricketer could become the first online coach in the cricket world. Former spinner Danish Kaneria has slammed Pakistan cricket for appointing Mickey Arthur as an online coach.
According to reports, Arthur prefers to work with Derbyshire in the English county and has only agreed to be available online. Derbyshire head coach Mickey Arthur extended his contract by three years, keeping him with the team until the end of the 2025 season. The club signed a two-year contract with the former Sri Lankan head coach in November 2021.

Do You Have A Lack Of Coaches In Pakistan – Danish Kaneria
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Danish Kaneria said that laptop coaching was beyond his imagination. He asked the PCB whether there is a shortage of coaches in Pakistan or around the world.
“Laptop coaching is beyond my thoughts. What’s this? This is an international team. Micky Arthur’s contract is with Derbyshire. Do you have a lack of coaches in Pakistan or around the world?”
Arthur is likely to be appointed as Pakistan’s team director and will be accompanied by batting, bowling, and fielding assistant coaches. He will not travel with the Pakistan team for the 2023 Asia Cup but is expected to be with the team for important tournaments like the ODI World Cup in 2023 and the upcoming Test tour in Australia.

Kaneria slammed the PCB for making a mockery of Pakistan cricket by appointing an online coach. He said that these decisions are being taken to make the world laugh at Pakistan.
“If there is a coach, no one listens to him. Why will they listen to an online coach? The decisions are made to make the world laugh. We are already struggling. We can’t win in our home series and now online coaching.”
Pakistan were whitewashed 0-3 at home by England last year and went winless against New Zealand in the two-Test series. The Men in Green lost the ODI series against New Zealand 1-2.
