'Ambitious' Mickey Arthur wants to be 'involved in international cricket'

Melbourne, Aug 21(ANI): Former South Africa coach Mickey Arthur has expressed interest in coaching the Australian national team, but also emphasized that his priority was Western Australia.

Cricket Australia has thrown open the job of head coach, who will double as a selector, in response to the 'Argus Report'.

Arthur is sure to be an appealing candidate on account of his record in taking South Africa from the middle of the rankings to No.1.

The 43-year-old stopped short of saying that he would apply, but signaled his desire to work at the top level again.

"I am ambitious and would like to be involved in international cricket, but right at the minute WA is my priority," Arthur told The Sunday Age. (ANI)
