Mickey Arthur lacks capacity, capability to coach Pakistan: Shoaib Akhtar

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar lambasted Pakistan cricket head coach Mickey Arthur after the side's humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Australia in the ongoing One Day International (ODI) series.

“Mickey Arthur does not have the capacity or the capability to be a coach,” said Akhtar, while talking to local media. The former speedster, who is known for his outspoken statements, also urged skipper Sarfraz Ahmed to play his role in players’ selection. “I have been saying it for years that Sarfraz should take the charge… he should himself pick Umer Khan and Musa Khan,” he added.

Earlier, ex-captain Ramiz Raja had also questioned the cricket team’s experimentation policy and he was of the view that the cricket team failed in all departments during the ODI series.

With the home series already lost, Pakistan would aim to restore some pride in the remaining two ODI’s scheduled to played on March 29 and 31 at Dubai.
