DHAKA: Former South African cricketer Mickey Arthur has been appointed as head coach of Pakistan cricket team.

Quoting Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources, the Dawn reports the appointment on Friday.

PCB was looking for a coach after Waqar Younis resigned following the team’s disastrous World Twenty20 performance in India.

The PCB filled the post before Pakistan's tour to England in July to play four Tests, one Twenty20 and five one-day internationals.
