It’s really unfair to start a witch-hunt: Mickey Arthur

Meanwhile, after the match against South Africa, Arthur insisted that a lot of witching-hunting will happen as they have lost four games.

“They’re going to be blaming everybody, don’t worry. It’s just the way of the world.

“It’s really unfair to start a witch-hunt, certainly on Babar Azam, on Inzi [chief selector, Inzamam-ul-Haq], on our coaches, on the management team,” he added. “What I do know is the boys have tried and the effort of the coaching staff, the effort of the players has been first-class. If they would see that the amount of effort that the players and staff put in, they would be amazed.”

“You never know,” Arthur said of their lingering knock-out hopes. “What I do know is that we need to go and assess combinations again, we need to have a look at the holes we have within our team. We need to we need to start improving in a lot of areas and we’ve got to go home and finish this tournament with three victories. That’s what I do know. Every day we’ll be trying and we’ll be striving to do that.”
