Newly appointed coach of Pakistan cricket team, Mickey Arthur believes that he has learned a lot from his experience in coaching Australia and South Africa, but he would stick with his preferred ways of coaching.

He doesn’t have good memories from his last tour to England as a coach. In 2013, he was sacked as Australia’s coach ahead of the start of the Ashes series. “You go back and analyze and think about it, and I’ve obviously learned a hell of a lot from that experience,” Arthur said on Monday.

“But I haven’t changed my style because I don’t think you could compromise on what you think is the right way to work … on your core values and principles,” he added.

Arthur was not interested in discussing anything more about the ‘homework gate’ scandal, insisting that he had moved on from that phase. “I am sick and tired of talking about ‘homework-gate’, and the way it’s been reported is totally way off the pace of what happened. But in terms of running teams, there are ways of doing it – and that’s how you get your ultimate success,” he noted.

Speaking about Pakistan’s upcoming Test series against England, he hailed Pakistan’s natural talent, which is up there with any other team. “It has been an eye-opener,” he said. “The skill levels the Pakistan team have are unbelievable. The ability to do things the other two teams I’ve coached couldn’t do is incredible. What the other teams had was fitness levels, structures, and self-disciplined in knowing their own game. I’m trying to get patience into the skills … and (then) together you’ll have something very, very good,” he concluded.
