One of Najam Sethi's first actions upon being reappointed as PCB chairman in late 2022 was to extend an offer to Arthur to become the director of the Pakistan team. He agreed, but only under strict conditions, balancing his responsibilities to Derbyshire and Pakistan. The outcome has been inconsistent on the field. Pakistan did not advance to the Asia Cup final or the World Cup semi-finals; however, they did well in Test cricket, defeating Sri Lanka 2-0, and they did well even though they lost 3-0 in Australia.
