Former Pakistan cricket team coach Mickey Arthur said that the insecurity among players in the national team has resulted in more focus on individual positions and contracts rather than a team structure. In a recent interview, Arthur opened up about his time with the Pakistan cricket team and pointed out that he was disappointed with the current state of Pakistan cricket. Arthur also said that Pakistan has a lot of talent but if they are not provided a proper struggle, the 'world-class talents' will not flourish.

"When there's security within the environment, Pakistan is very good. When there's that insecurity, players start playing for themselves instead of the team because they're thinking of the next tour, and the next contract. That's a dangerous place to be in, and that's kind of where Pakistan cricket is now. And that's something that's very disappointing and sad for me," Arthur said in an interview with ESPN Cricinfo.

"There's a massive amount of talent there, There are some world-class players, not just talented players. They're not given the support structure that they need to flourish," he added.

In the recent past, Pakistan have struggled to perform on the international stage with series defeats against Australia and New Zealand. Arthur revealed that he still follows Pakistan cricket but reiterated the fact that he believes that it is currently in a "very disappointing place".

"I still follow Pakistan cricket and I'll always follow it. But the vigour and thirst and passion I have for Pakistan cricket waned a little bit after that. To be brutally honest, I think Pakistan cricket is in a very disappointing place," the veteran coach concluded.
