Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47212, member: 636"] Mickey Arthur will stay connected with Rangpur Riders during Global Super League 2025 despite his current role at Derbyshire County Cricket Club. Greg Smith takes charge as the new head coach and will work under Arthur's remote guidance. Team Director Shanian Taneem announced this arrangement at Sunday's jersey ceremony at Bashundhara Sports City. Arthur remains unavailable because he coaches Derbyshire during England's County Championship season. Smith has Arthur's complete trust and will lead the team through distant supervision. Arthur previously guided Rangpur Riders through the last Global Super League and recent Bangladesh Premier League campaigns. The experienced coach helped select players for this season's squad and provided advice about Guyana's playing conditions. Taneem expressed strong confidence about Arthur's continued involvement despite the physical distance. The team director emphasized Arthur's knowledge about which players perform best on Caribbean pitches. Arthur's input shaped the current roster formation. Mohammad Ashraful joins the coaching staff again after supporting the team's successful title run last season. The former national captain provided valuable assistance during Rangpur's previous Global Super League victory. Ashraful and Smith will form the on-ground coaching partnership for the upcoming tournament. His experience proves essential for the defending champions as they prepare for another campaign. The coaching panel combines local knowledge with international expertise. Global Super League 2025 features five teams competing from July 10 through 18. Rangpur Riders will defend their championship title under the new coaching structure. The tournament takes place entirely across Guyana's cricket venues. [/QUOTE]
