Quotes by Mickey Arthur

I was not sceptical coming to Pakistan. I took the job because I was really excited about it.

I have always said we are going to play well and we going to play badly. And I have not got issues when people criticise as long as we don't play well. That's part and parcel of the game. I love it and that's how it should be.

There's pressure on each and every game.

I have never tried to hide my ambition to work in county cricket one day.

I love coaching internationally because I can develop people, but it's hard to do that in the T20 environment.

When you are coaching an international team, you are running a programme for 12 months of the year. You get to influence peoples' careers.

The backing I have received form the PCB is second to none. They have allowed me to do what I want to do for the best. I really think that we are on the right track. I am loving this Pakistan job.
