Mickey Arthur has replaced former Australia batter Marcus North as director of cricket at Hundred side Northern Superchargers.

Arthur, 56, will combine the role with his responsibilities as head of cricket at Derbyshire.

Former South Africa and Pakistan coach Arthur said: "I'm delighted to be taking on this role with Northern Superchargers and am very excited to get started ahead of the 2025 edition of The Hundred.

"Whilst the Northern Superchargers haven't lifted any silverware in the competition yet, both the men's and women's teams have put in some strong performances over the years and shown a lot of potential.

"I'm looking forward to working with both Freddie Flintoff and Lisa Keightley to build strong squads, and a culture that will see us enjoy success in 2025.

"I'd also like to thank Derbyshire for supporting me in taking on this role, in addition to the long-term project we are developing at The County Ground."

Superchargers finished fourth in both the men's and women's Hundred in 2024.

The dates for the 2025 tournament are yet to be announced, but it is expected to take place through most of August.
