“It is a great honor for me to work with a highly talented and skillful side like Pakistan as a head coach. We have been working hard on our raising our game and are eager to showcase our growing skills. Mickey Arthur and I are excited to support, challenge and develop our players. The New Zealand series has been valuable to get game time and create clarity of roles, culture, and brand to win.”
PCB director Mickey Arthur keen to leave behind a rich legacy
Arthur feels Pakistan is heading towards the right direction, and by playing in Pakistan Way, Arthur wants to create a distinct and unique identity.
“If a team wins without a culture, without a brand, or without a style, it may work for a short period but will eventually fall. If a team is losing with a culture, a brand, and its own style, then it is moving in the right direction.
“So how do we achieve The Pakistan Way? We achieve this by winning while having our own culture, our own brand of cricket, and our own style. We will not be satisfied with wins without that culture in the team. Pakistan as a nation is proud of its identity, culture, and style. I love Pakistan and Pakistan cricket; I want to leave behind a legacy as a director where the rest of the world says we want to play The Pakistan Way.
Pakistan are due to play three-match ODI series against Afghanistan before Asia Cup 2023. Apart from Bradburn’s appointment, PCB have also appointed Andrew Puttick as the batting coach for two years.
