Mickey Arthur Sacked, Mohammad Hafeez Named Director of Pakistan Cricket

Mickey Arthur is set to be sacked soon.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed former Test captain Mohammad Hafeez as the director of the national team, succeeding Mickey Arthur, who is pending dismissal. Morne Morkel has already resigned as the bowling coach, while head coach Grant Bradburn and batting coach Andrew Puttick are on the verge of being sacked following Pakistan’s disappointing performance at the ICC World Cup 2023 in India.

The PCB will unveil the new coaching team for the upcoming series in Australia and New Zealand, with all coaches remaining affiliated with the National Cricket Academy. Concurrently, Mohammad Hafeez is actively engaging with local cricket players to identify potential candidates for the Men in Green coaching role. Meanwhile, Babar Azam has opted to resign as captain across formats after discussions with PCB Chairman Management Committee Zaka Ashraf at the PCB headquarters in Lahore.
