Pakistan finds itself in the middle of a tumultuous World Cup campaign. With its semifinal hopes hanging in the balance, the side has seen a spate of injuries, the resignation of its chief selector and the call-back of team media personnel, all in the middle of a campaign where the hot seat has shown no signs of cooling down.
However, Mickey Arthur, Pakistan’s director of cricket, looked in good spirits ahead of the clash against New Zealand.
“The one thing that amazes me so much with the Pakistan players is generally how calm they are,” Arthur said here on Friday. “I’m a cat on a hot tin roof but the players take it all in their stride,” he added.
