Misbah on PCB rehiring Arthur: ‘Slap on Pakistan cricket’

The Pakistan job, ought to Arthur settle for it, will run concurrently to his long-term cope with Derbyshire. Arthur doesn’t need to go away the Derby job and each events have labored out an settlement and schedule permitting him to satisfy each roles. It will likely be an uncommon association for worldwide cricket, through which Arthur is not going to be with the Pakistan group on each tour however can have a handpicked group of help employees working operations.

“It’s a slap on our cricket system that we are not able to find a high-profile full-time coach,” Misbah advised ESPNcricinfo. “It’s a shame that the best ones do not want to come and we insist on having someone who is looking at Pakistan as a second option.

“I blame our personal system, which is susceptible sufficient with so many weak strains for anybody to take advantage of it. We are to be blamed ourselves that now we have disrespected and discredited our personal individuals to make a foul picture. The current and former lot do not respect one another, with media and former gamers utilizing their very own YouTube channels for scores, damaging the credibility and worth of our cricket which, as as outcome, offers an impression that we aren’t succesful.

“The Pakistan cricket fan is always disgruntled; he is picking up things from the media and is under the wrong impression. Players speaking against each other with grudges and talking openly with disdain just devalues our community, and that becomes the common perception. The game is hardly a subject of objective and constructive discussion.

“Cricket is the most well-liked sport within the nation however sadly by no means hits the headlines in the correct method. It’s chaos; former cricketers ridiculing their fellow cricketers on nationwide channels with followers getting the unsuitable sense. There is not any empathy, no respect, and no conducive atmosphere within the cricketing quarter of our nation.”

Misbah’s comments on Arthur come with their own context, of course. Misbah was part of the committee that recommended the discontinuation of Arthur’s tenure after the 2019 World Cup. And he then replaced Arthur in the head coach position, with unprecedented influence by also becoming – uniquely – the chief selector. Misbah then resigned with a year left in the role, in September 2021.

There has always been plenty of debate in Pakistan about foreign and local coaches, and Misbah said that the handling of each individual has been inconsistent by the PCB administration, with local coaches facing more scrutiny.

“PCB is all the time able to again international coaches however by no means helps the native ones,” Misbah said. “They are fond of getting abroad coaches as a result of they suppose locals can simply be politicised and are incapable. But do we all know it is the PCB forms who politicised the construction? They throw the native ones beneath the bus after they come beneath stress and there has by no means been accountability of this forms in PCB. It’s the mismanagement and the constant adjustments on the helm that could be a downside and we’re by no means capable of finding one strong line for our cricket.
