There are few people better-placed to lead a Sri Lankan team through the First Round at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup than Mickey Arthur.
Touted as a coach throughout his playing days, Arthur has always exhibited the virtues of the profession. Approachable, clear in communication, and meticulous in detail, Arthur’s emotions in the stands or in the dugout are there for everyone to see, as he lives the ups and downs of international cricket almost alongside his players.
Speaking to the ICC ahead of the Men’s T20 World Cup, a buoyant Arthur showed no sign of changing during Sri Lanka’s campaign.
