Mickey Arthur has signed a new two-year deal to remain as Derbyshire’s head of cricket until the end of the 2028 season.
The 57-year-old former Australia, Pakistan and South Africa coach has been with the county since 2022 when he left his role as Sri Lanka boss.
Derbyshire finished third in Division Two of the County Championship last season, falling a place short of promotion to Division One.
Their efforts with the red ball failed to translate into similar results in shorter white-ball formats, with Derbyshire finishing bottom of their T20 Blast group and second bottom in the One-Day Cup pool.
It was Arthur’s first season at the County Ground that Derbyshire enjoyed their finest white-ball campaign under the South African, having reached the quarter-finals of the T20 Blast.
“This is a special club and we are working every day to win silverware for our supporters and to get Derbyshire to that top table of county cricket,” Arthur told the club website., external
“I’m immensely proud of the progress we have made, it’s not always been easy and we’ve had setbacks, but I truly feel we are putting the foundations in place for sustained success.”
