Pakistan have appointed South African Mickey Arthur as head coach of their national cricket team, replacing Waqar Younis who resigned after a disastrous World Twenty20 last month. “Arthur has confirmed his acceptance of the post of Head Coach of the Pakistan National Cricket team after a detailed and transparent process,” the PCB said in a statement. “The modalities vis-à-vis his contract are being finalised. It is expected that Arthur will be able to join the PCB toward the end of this month,” the statement added. Arthur, who turns 48 later this month, successfully coached South Africa from 2005-10 before migrating to Australia, where he remained coach for 19 months.
