Pakistan must focus on batting, fielding: Arthur

Arthur, who is slated to join the Pakistan team later this month, is confident of transforming the side into a winning unit. “Pakistan has got a wonderful group of bowlers. We need to work on batting, particularly outside of the UAE, and that will be key. Also, we need to bring the fielding up to international level,” Arthur, who earlier coached South Africa and Australia, was quoted as saying by an Australian television channel on Tuesday.

“I think it’s a great challenge. Pakistan cricket has struggled a little bit in the last couple of years and certainly I am keen to bring it back to its rightful place in the ranking, and the rightful place in world cricket,” he added.
