The forthcoming Test series against West Indies this month will be Mickey Arthur’s final assignment as the Head Coach of Sri Lanka. Arthur will now take up the role of Derbyshire’s Head of Cricket following the conclusion of the two-Test series.
The 53-year-old took over the Sri Lanka role last year in February with the team going through a rough phase. But they have since shown signs of improvement that reflected in a decent showing in the T20 World Cup where they won five games and lost three.
Arthur, renowned for his coaching stint with South Africa between 2005 and 2010, later coached Australia as well before winning the Champions Trophy with Pakistan in 2017. He will now replace Dave Houghton at Derbyshire, who left after the 2021 season.
“This is the start of an exciting project at Derbyshire, with many young players, and I’m really excited to be a part of that and to bring my vision to the Club,” Arthur said.
