This move is part of Pakistan’s efforts to enhance their preparations for the upcoming tournament.
Mickey Arthur, who took on the role of Team Director with the PCB in April of this year, had limited involvement with the squad due to his contractual commitments with Derbyshire. Notably, he was absent from the Pakistani team during their series against Sri Lanka in July and also missed Pakistan’s series against Afghanistan in August. During last month’s Asia Cup, Arthur only joined the team for a single fixture.
