Derbyshire Head of Cricket, Mickey Arthur, has been appointed as Director of Cricket for The Hundred franchise, 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, through his vast experience.
Arthur said: “Derbyshire remains my primary focus and I’m committed to achieving our goals of bringing success to the Club. We encourage all of 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, added: “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.
“It’s been a positive winter, with Mickey, Wayne [Madsen] and Zak [Chappell] lifting silverware overseas, while Harry Moore and Pat Brown have represented us within the England setup recently.
“Our squad has been working hard over the winter, and this will ramp up even further over the next couple of months to give us the best possible chance of success in 2025, with an exciting summer ahead.”
