*ISLAMABAD - Pakistan cricket head coach Mickey Arthur finally breaks silence over the media reports of bashing senior players in dressing room.*
*He has dismissed reports of having heated argument with senior players terming it ‘sensationalised’ after Pakistan lost the first Test against South Africa.*
“A lot of the reports have been absolutely sensationalised. It was a normal debrief like we usually do, but the fact is that I was annoyed because I felt that we were an hour away from dominating a Test match after being in a dominant position at tea on the second day.
It was disappointing that we didn’t grab that opportunity and run with it,” said Arthur, quoted *sport24.co.za link*.
Arthur allegedly had a heated argument with senior playing personnel and was reported to have thrown objects in the dressing room.
The head coach informed that he gets emotional attached to his work which ‘boiled over’ during the first Test against the Proteas. “Going forward, I suppose I have to channel my emotions in the right direction. I was emotional as a player and that has not changed as a coach – in fact I think it has probably got worse,” he added.
