Arthur blames security for Pak’s poor performance

Bengaluru, Nov 3: Pakistan have been going through a difficult World Cup campaign and their Director of Cricket Mickey Arthur on Friday attributed one part of the rough ride to the heightened security around players, largely confining them to the hotel rooms.
“What has been tough is the fact that we’ve been under a massive amount of security. And to be fair, I found it difficult. It’s almost like we’ve been back in the COVID times, where you were almost secluded to your floor and your team room.
“So much so that their breakfast is in a separate room to everybody else,” said Arthur during the pre-match press meet.
Arthur said the players’ inability to socialise during such a long tournament has made a tough impact on them during the quadrennial showpiece.“Our boys are used to being on the road. But when they’re on the road, they’ve still been able to get out and have meals at different places, and get out on their own accord,” he added. (PTI)
