Derbyshire appoints Mickey Arthur as Head of Cricket

Derbyshire have appointed Mickey Arthur as the English county club’s Head of Cricket.

Arthur has held head coaching roles with Australia, South Africa, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the latter of which he leaves to join Derbyshire.

The South African-Australian replaces Dave Houghton, who departed at the end of the 2021 season.

Arthur will link up with the Derbyshire squad at The Incora County Ground after Sri Lanka’s two-Test series against West Indies which begins on Sunday.

Meanwhile, reports say Arthur tendered his resignation to Sri Lanka Cricket yesterday (16).
