Arthur to take on Superchargers role
The head of cricket at Derbyshire County Cricket Club is to be part of the set-up for a franchise involved in The Hundred series this summer.
Mickey Arthur has been appointed as director of cricket for the Northern Superchargers.
Arthur, who will remain with Derbyshire during the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, will undertake the largely hands-off role alongside his duties with the club, as the Superchargers prepare for the fifth edition of The Hundred this August.
Arthur will advise on recruitment for both the Superchargers’ men’s and women’s teams, as well as providing support to head coaches Andrew Flintoff and Lisa Keightley.
He said: “Derbyshire remains my primary focus, and I’m committed to achieving our goals of bringing success to the club. We encourage all our players and coaches to develop their skills in new environments and this is another example of that.
“As a club, our personnel are in demand and that’s a testament to the work being done behind the scenes, and we are confident results will soon come on-field.”
Chief executive Ryan Duckett said: “Mickey remains fully committed to Derbyshire – he lives and breathes the club and we hope that he can use this opportunity to showcase the quality Derbyshire has.”
