Former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur has rejected an offer from the Pakistan Cricket Board to return as the national team's head coach.
In a statement, PCB confirmed that their talks have fallen through despite the board's second proposal offering a consultant's role.
According to a PTI report, Arthur, who is currently the head coach of English county side Derbyshire wasn't willing to give up his long-term contract due to his unpleasant experience with the board in the past.
Pakistan's current head coach Saqlain Mushtaq's tenure will end after the 3rd ODI vs New Zealand and the former off-spinner had already informed the board of his wish to not extend his term.
