Arthur has been replaced by former Australian Cricketer Dean Jones.

The PSL side announced the appointment of Jones as their new head coach on their official twitter account.

“Karachi Kings signs Australia’s Dean Jones as head coach,” announced the franchise on Twitter, following the signing ceremony in Dubai between the owner of team and the former Australian cricketer.

Dean Jones, also known as Deano in the cricketing circles, confirmed the decision with a picture on his twitter account of Karachi's jersey with his name on it.
