Mickey Arthur will coach the Pakistan team online
Coaches play an important role in any sport, be it cricket or football. Of course, that coach lives in person, with the team. But this time Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is going to add new dimension to this coaching method. They are going to hire online coaches for the first time in history. And Mickey Arthur is supposed to coach Pakistan online.
Recently, Pakistan announced the appointment of Arthur as the head coach. The South African coach also agreed to work with Babar Azams. But in between, Arthur is busy. Being in charge of Derbyshire in the English county, he cannot come to Pakistan now. For that reason, PCB has arranged Arthur’s coaching classes online for now.
However, PCB chief Najam Sethi is reluctant to open up in this regard. Regarding the new coach’s activities, the PCB president said, “As you know, I have been in direct contact with Arthur myself. So far, the talks have progressed almost 90 percent. There are many things we have to think about. Everything has to be fixed here. Hopefully, it will be official soon. All will be announced.”
PCB wants to give full freedom to Arthur when he becomes the head coach. In that case, he has the opportunity to build a coaching panel of his choice. In this context, Sethi also said, “Arthur, in fact, he will arrange everything in his own way. He will work with the assistant coach of his choice. We will only arrange the salary of the coaches. Hopefully, everything will be done soon.”
Meanwhile, according to Pakistani media reports, Arthur will set foot in Pakistan only after the work of Derbyshire is completed. That may be before this year’s ODI World Cup. Because, under Arthur, Pakistanis will play the World Cup on Indian soil. The team has had great success under this coach before. Brought home the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. Let’s see how much success Arthur can bring to Babar Azam’s team.

If we were to list the most unsuccessful teams in the history of Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), perhaps Sylhet’s name would be at the top. The team from the state of tea has participated in this franchise-based T20 league after changing ownership several times. Even then, Sylhet could not get out of the circle of failure. The picture is different, Sylhet strikers are running at a fast pace. Mashrafe team is in great rhythm.
Sylhet has been playing admirable cricket since the beginning of this year’s BPL. Mashrafe bin Mortaza-led team sprung a surprise by reeling off five straight wins. Although coming to their sixth match, Sylhet was shocked by Comilla Victorians. But in the next match Mashrafe returned to his familiar form and took the win. With 6 wins from 7 matches, Sylhet has retained the top spot in the points table.
Meanwhile, after visiting Dhaka and Chittagong, BPL is now in Sylhet. And Sylhet will play as the table topper at home. After a long time, maybe the local audience will be able to watch the game of their own divisional team with happiness. That’s why the Sylhet audience is touched by the excitement, joy. Mashrafe will also get extra support from their home fans. Maybe the team will want to keep the best rhythm there.
Sylhet phase of BPL is going to start from January 27. A total of 8 matches will be played till January 31. All matches will be held at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. And to watch the game there, the audience must spend money to buy tickets. The question is where, when and how much money will the ticket be available? Meanwhile, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has also informed.
The highest ticket price in the Sylhet phase is the Grand Stand ticket, Tk. 1500. Apart from this, Club House 500, Eastern Gallery 300, Western Gallery 200 and Green Hall area ticket price is Tk 200. Ticket sales will start from January 26. Match tickets will be sold at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium Ticket Counter and Sylhet District Stadium on every pre-match day and match day.
Meanwhile, the supporters of the Sylhet team expressed their excitement as they went to their venue. Mashrafe said in an interview that they want to keep the rhythm in their venue. Mashrafe’s words are not surprising given the way the team is playing this season. Let’s see whether Sylhet will finally win the BPL title with Mashrafe’s hand.
