Mickey Arthur will begin a unique job-share next week that will keep him accountable for Pakistan's success in comparison to those of his former employers Derbyshire. Arthur, 54, is expected to be unveiled by the Pakistan Cricket Board as the Pakistan's next national director, a role that broadly mirrors Rob Key's stint with the ECB.

I've been overwhelmingly impressed with him, particularly in the first four games against New Zealand and India.
