Despite failing to reach the knockout stage of the World Cup, Mikey Arthur is likely to remain Pakistan’s main coach till the 2020 T20 World Cup. After the completion of league level matches in Pakistan’s World Cup, there were 11 points. New Zealand had the same number of points, but on the basis of net runlets, Kiwi team managed to get ahead.

The cricket committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will review the team’s performance in the World Cup on August 2, for which Arthur has reached Lahore.

According to sources in the Pakistani newspaper Dawn, it has been told that the discussion about the selection of the chief coach and coaching staff has started since the end of the World Cup.

The report said it would be Arthur’s right to win Pakistan’s Champions Trophy victory and to become Pakistan’s top team in the Twenty20 rankings.

PCB is also considering making different players as captains in every format. There are speculations that Azhar Ali will be given the command of the Test team while Sarfraz Ahmed will captain the ODIs and T20 teams.

After winning the Champions Trophy in 2017, Sarfraz was replaced by Azhar as the captain of the Test team. Talented Babar Azam can also be made vice-captain in both formats so that he can be prepared for the future.
