Will help Pakistan in Getting Rid of ‘Champions Trophy Hangover’, Says Mickey Arthur

After coming back from holiday, Mickey Arthur planned Pakistan’s next phase during his time in Perth to ensure the team doesn’t suffer a post-Champions Trophy letdown

Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur is confident that he would be able to bring Pakistan back to work from their ‘Champions Trophy hangover’. Arthur is set to return to Pakistan after spending quality time in his home town Perth with his family. Pakistan have enjoyed an overwhelming reception after their victory in the 2017 Champions Trophy at the Oval.

Pakistan have defeated India by 180 runs to win their second 50 over the title after 1992. All Champions Trophy wining heroes of Pakistan received many rewards for their victory over India. Skipper Sarfraz Ahmed and other members of the team received plots and money from the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Six weeks have past but the zeal of the victory still keeps Pakistan cricketers busy in sharing the moments of victory.

“It has been over a month and the euphoria has died down and I have been plotting and planning our next move,” Arthur tells Cricbuzz in an interview. Also read: India vs Sri Lanka: Team India Faces Selection Dilemma After Galle Win
