Shan Masood gives credit to Mickey Arthur

• The in-form Shan Masood had nothing but admiration.
• For Mickey Arthur, the coach of his Derbyshire team.

Shan Masood had the opportunity to compete while being coached by Arthur in County Cricket, where he made his mark as a T20I batter.

Since he led the Pakistani side to victory in the 2017 Champions Trophy, Arthur is a well-known figure in Pakistan. The nation’s cricket supporters enthusiastically acknowledge Pakistan’s achievements under Arthur.

Masood praised Arthur for bailing him out at a media appearance on Saturday in this city.

“Playing county cricket has given me a lot of exposure to be honest,” he told reporters. “I would like to thank Derbyshire and especially Mickey Arthur for believing in me and helping me out,” added Masood who got maiden T20I call-up in the national team following his superb run in the shorter format in recent times.

On Saturday, the teams from Pakistan and England did practise together. From September 20 to October 2, the two teams will compete in seven Twenty20 Internationals at Karachi and Lahore.

Masood is glad to get an opportunity to play for Pakistan in T20Is. “I am really excited and hopeful for a good return. It’s always a pleasure to represent Pakistan and performing is the second important thing,” the left-handed opener said.

The cricketer from Karachi normally bats first, but it appears that this time he will bat in the middle of the order.

The cricketer responded that he is not considering his batting number when asked about it.. “I am not think about my batting number. I am feasible to play at any number and perform for my team. I am waiting for my turn and give back to the expectations people have from me,” he concluded.

Masood collected 215 points while playing at position four in nine games during the National T20 Cup in 2022.

He was reportedly instructed to bat at this position since the Pakistani squad was having trouble filling this specific batting position.
