After 'BCCI event' episode, Mickey Arthur blames 'stifling' security in India, 'IPL disadvantage' for PAK's poor WC show

Hindustan Times  

Weeks after his bizarre claim that the World Cup 2023 has seemed more like a "BCCI event instead of ICC" after Pakistan's loss against India in Ahmedabad, the team's director of cricket on Friday raised a few eyebrows with another remark, ahead of their do-or-die game against New Zealand in Bengaluru, saying that the beefed-up security which has confined the players to their hotel rooms has been among the reasons behind their poor performance in India. On the eve of the big contest, Arthur blamed the "stifling" security in India, which reminded him of the Covid era, for affecting the mental health of the Pakistan players. The team director further revealed that the Pakistan players have resorted to leisure activities in the hotel rooms rather spending the time outside on non-training days. “I think the guys have been out three times – we’ve managed to do that with security, get them out to a different restaurant, just to give them a little bit of a taste of the outside world.” Arthur also blamed Pakistan players' non-participation in Indian Premier League has been a disadvantage for them compared to other teams.
