Arthur and PCB come to terms, and he is appointed consultant team director.
As Grant Bradburn takes over as head coach, the Pakistan Cricket Board has chosen former Pakistani head coach Mickey Arthur as the consultant team director, informed sources told Dawn late on Tuesday night.
All six of the national team's coaches will be foreigners, according to the information acquired by Dawn. Four of them will join the national team before the commencement of the five T20 Internationals and as many One-day Internationals starting on April 14 at home against New Zealand.
The national team already has two coaches on staff: Drikus Saaimon and Cliffe Deacon (physio) (strength and conditioning coach).
The bowling coach will be former South African pacer Morne Morkel, and the batting coach will be Andrew Puttick.
Bradburn is the new head coach, and Morkel will oversee bowling.
Before the start of the series, Arthur—who led Pakistan to victory in the Champions Trophy in 2017—will pay a quick visit to brief his hand-selected coaching staff before returning to his role as head coach of Derbyshire.
He will return in September to assist the national squad in its World Cup preparations.
Due to obligations with an Indian Premier League club, Morkel will miss the New Zealand series.
The coaching panel's contracts' durations were not immediately disclosed.
