Pakistan is hiring the first ‘online’ coach in international cricket!

Pakistan is hiring the first ‘online’ coach in international cricket!

Former coach Mickey Arthur can return as the coach of the Pakistan cricket team. But this time his coaching style will be completely different. Instead of being a traditional coach, Arthur is going to be an online coach for the first time in the history of world cricket.

He will coach the Pakistan cricket team online as a virtual coach. According to Pakistani media reports, talks with Arthur are almost final. He will take charge of the coach of the national team soon. But currently Arthur is serving as the coach of county team Derbyshire. Due to that agreement, it is not possible for him to go to Pakistan now. For this he will coach the Pakistan team online.

The PCB will appoint his assistant coach, who will be present on the field with the Pakistan team at all times. Although, Arthur will be seen with Babar Azam during the 2023 ODI World Cup to be held in India.

In a press conference a few days ago, PCB chief Najam Sethi said that Arthur is likely to return as the coach of Pakistan. It was then that Mickey’s role as an online coach came to the fore.

Regarding Arthur, Najam Sethi said, I want to clarify one thing, ” I am myself talking with Mickey and the discussion has progressed 90 percent. Many things have to be looked at. Hope to hear good news soon. If Mickey comes he will build his own team of support staff. We only have to look at their remuneration. The matter will be resolved in the next 2-3 days.”
