This episode is a wake up call for those who said that Mickey should have resigned from his job at Derbyshire and taken on a full-time role for the PCB.
There is no stability in Pakistan cricket and only a fool would give up a 4 year contract to work for the PCB.
Mickey negotiated out a contract well for himself.
Thing is, when Najem Sethi came in, he had one thing in mind, that if he was going to get a coach than it will ONLY be Arthur and no one else.
When Arthur saw this and already had a job (and knew that the job with PCB will last till the elections were to happen), he gave his demands and i think even he was surprised that Najem Sethi said ok to it.
Arthur made great money out of it, and i have no issues with that.
Thing is, Najem Sethi handled it poorly.
The Pakistani govt has a process where for govt jobs you advertise, than select the person based on the interviews. The loophole that govt institutes created is that they approach the person and say the job is yours, and ask them to just apply to fulfill the process criteria.
Sethi should had advertised before and selected the best candidate instead of approaching himself.
Sethi handled it poorly, and than Zaka decided to fire everyone which made no sense.
Once a decision is made, atleast let the contracts be completed. Rameez fired Misbah, Zaka fired Arthur, by firing these guys, you end up having to pay them the money that you owe towards the contract and than when you hire a new guy you have to pay them aswell..
The only reason the new Chairman fires is because the old chairman cant take credit and because each chairman knows that he is there for a few months, so lets start wasting PCB's money and making dumb decisions.
