Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will review the performance of national team head coach Mickey Arthur and support staff after the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy.

PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan has indicated in an interview that the performance of the coaches and support staff would be scrutinised by a committee which will submit its report to the board of governors after the Champions Trophy.

"It is a wrong impression that we have formed another committee to probe Pakistan's defeat to India. That is not the case. Before the Champions Trophy I had already formed this committee to look into the performance of the team's support staff," Shaharyar said.

He said the committee included former Test players Mudassar Nazar and Haroon Rasheed, who are already working in senior positions in the Board.

"Win and loss are part of the sport and no panic button is being pressed because of the defeat to India. But this committee has been asked to talk to the players and support staff and gather feedback on their performances. We have been observing things and have got information from our managers," he said.

Shaharyar said although there was concern over the inconsistent batting performances of the team but otherwise the feedback about batting coach Grant Flower and even trainer Grant Ludon was good.

"Everyone we have spoken to says the batting coach is doing well. But obviously he has been there for nearly four years and we want to see more results," he said.

Shaharyar also noted that contracts of some of the support staff were due for reviews after the tournament.

So that's why they rejected the news about the committee... because it was already formed beforehand.

He said the committee included former Test players Mudassar Nazar and Haroon Rasheed, who are already working in senior positions in the Board.

What could possibly go wrong...
 
What?:facepalm:.

Of course,this news had to come out in the middle of a tournament when heading into an important match...

The review should come after home season

This committee is a farce if it is headed by Haroon Rasheed
 
This man is crazy. Him along with Sethi will drive our cricket into the ground.
 
It is just to review the performance so not a big deal. Mudassar Nazar has a great cricketing acumen so hopefully he will add some positive input.
 
Arthur has earned the right to continue through to the 2019 World Cup.
 
Micky fell in his own traps. Had he not select Kamran, Umar, Shehzad, Hafeez, Azhar, Rahat, Wahab we could be no.6 instead of no.8 and Micky would be praised
 
Calm the heck down folks, it's just a performance review. These kind of details are more or less included in every corporate run professional contract.... Jesus !!

doesn't give this incompetent fool to release this just 2 days before an important game. Who even made him chairman at this age needs medical checkup.
 
Mickey arthur is one of the worst coaches in international cricket, the dude got fired from his job and pakistan had the brilliant idea of hiring him as a coach lol. This guy won't even get an interview call from other big teams, the way he makes faces sitting in the dressing room and the way he gets rattled when his team loses is surely not a good sign for a coach of an international team.
 
Enough.
It could be that this simply an annual performance review, he was hired in May of last year so it takes 6-8 weeks to conduct an annual performance review.
I'd say Mickey has plenty to sell.
Test draw in England, Test series wins against WI (twice), LOI series sweeps and wins against WI solidifying us as #8. What I really hope is that he advances to the CT finals. I do not think they will fire him, if they do they are morons. He needs to be given a full run with the team until 2021. There has been no stability in Pakistan cricket in the last 10 years because they keep changing coaches. Give Mickey long enough, the cricket team will get better simply because the culture will improve-and the rest of the cricket teams will follow the senior side's example.

Yaar if you think Arthur's bad in that regard, you should see how the likes of Alex Ferguson would cuss the hell out of his players when he was Man Utd boss.

Pakistani players need danda approach.
 
Why we are not reviewing the seniors like Hafeez, Azhar(in ODI only obviously), Shezad, Sarfraz do they really belong to modern day LOI cricket?? - No matter who the coach is, unless we get rid of these seniors and bring attacking players(not spin bashers) we will never improve. Need of hour is to get rid of Misbah Key Bakayiat :acp:
 
Absolutely no reason to put out such statements about your current employees. Another poor case of judgement from the top guys in PCB
 
There is no international grade coach in Pakistan. Most of these people have IQ of 2 so what right do they have judging a Mickey who led a SA to no 1 in the world. He would even be a better chairman than what we have thats how dumb our people are.
