Mickey Arthur said that winning the Test series in Australia is one of the toughest things and added that he has experienced it with the South African team in the past.

“The goal is to win the World Cup. The second one would be to go to Australia and win a Test series. I was lucky enough to experience that with South Africa, and there’s nothing better. Those are two very achievable goals,” Arthur said on Saturday.

Mickey Arthur praised Mohammad Haris and Saim Ayub and said that both batters had the ability to dominate with the bat in the middle overs.

“Mohammad Haris is a vibrant character, he’s been great fun. I watched him bat, and he’s unbelievable. Saim Ayub is an incredible talent. He’s got it all. He can be that player for us that can dominate overs 10-40 at times,” he added.
