Former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur has been re-appointed as team director of the Green Brigade. From 2016 t0 2019, he was coaching the side with Azhar Ali and then Sarfaraz Ahmed leading the side in different formats. During Arthur's stint, the team won the Champions Trophy 2017, beating the then-defending champions, India in the final. After the 2019 World Cup exit, Arthur's contract expired and wasn't renewed.
After leaving Pakistan, he coached Sri Lanka for a year or two and then joined Derbyshire last year. The former Australia and South Africa head coach continue to coach the English county. He has reportedly asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he won't be joining the team full-time. It is understood that he will work with the team on an online and offline basis.
There is no such thing as an online coach: Mickey Arthur
"First of all, there is no such thing like an online coach. You build relationships with the players, you know exactly what the players require and you give it to them."
“In the last five years I’ve watched every game Pakistan have played virtually on television. I know the players backwards; I know exactly what they are thinking technically.” He said the talent that Pakistan have is second to none and they are perfectly capable of winning world cups and achieving the top spots across all three formats.
“They say Pakistan stays in your blood; it definitely stays in your blood. I always knew there was a time that I was very emotionally attached to this cricket team, very emotionally attached to this country.
“It’s a privilege for me; in fact, to come back and help, hopefully win a World Cup, get us to number one in the world in all formats of the game because we certainly have the talent, certainly the players.”

All PAK officials do is "lip-service"; all their players love doing is "yaari-dosti"--come whatever it may for the team and the country🙂
