Men's ODI WC: Coach Arthur Asks Pakistan Players To Shut Out 'outside Noise' After Sub-par Show
Cricket World Cup: With Pakistan failing to reach the semifinals and finishing their campaign in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, the team is facing a lot of pressure with everybody conducting a postmortem of their performance. There are calls for sacking skipper Babar Azam and some even want the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Director of Cricket and the team's head coach Mickey Arthur to be shown the door.
In such a vicious environment, coach Arthur has asked the players, especially the leadership group, to shut out the outside noise and concentrate on their process to help the team regain lost ground. This is the second World Cup in succession in which Pakistan has failed to reach the semifinals and finished fifth.
"The key for us as leaders within that group is to make sure that we make the players deaf to the outside noise. As I say, for us as a group and us as a team, particularly for us as leaders, we've got to create a stable environment. Our messaging has to be consistent, our environment has to be consistent and stable, because only then do you get players that grow," said Arthur.
