Saqlain Mushtaq, who is an ECB Level-3 coach, has already worked with the New Zealand, Australian, West Indies and Bangladesh national senior teams as their spin consultant or coach.
Arthur took over as Pakistan head coach three years ago and during his tenure guided the team to the Champions Trophy title in England in 2017.
Talking to local media in Lahore on Monday on completion of six months in the PCB, Wasim Khan said relations between the Pakistan and Indian cricket boards have been very good.
Imam-ul-Haq found himself in trouble when a few women posted screenshots of his objectionable WhatsApp conversations with them and accused him of misleading them.
A PCB official of the board said that besides restructuring of the domestic season, it would be made mandatory for players to appear in domestic matches to qualify for the Pakistan team.
Imam-ul-Haq's WhatsApp chats with four women were leaked on social media on Wednesday but the PCB cleared the air and said that it won't involve itself in the matter.
When the Cricket Committee meets later this month, a proposal to split the captaincy and coaching for the different formats would be up for discussion.
Inzamam-ul-Haq met with Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ehsan Mani and managing director Wasim Khan on Monday and told them his decision not to extend his contract.
The 49-year-old was appointed for the role in April 2016 and oversaw a period which included Pakistan's victory in the Champions Trophy two years ago.
The PCB last year in August had given 12-month central contracts to 33 players in different categories and interestingly only 10 to 12 players in the existing list have played for Pakistan.
Shoaib Malik was granted a 10-day leave on April 29, but the Pakistan Cricket Board did not give any reason for doing this.
PCB wanted to follow BCCI's successful model of Rahul Dravid coaching the India U-19 and A team, which acts as a feeder for the national squad.
The Pakistan Cricket Board said on Monday that team manager, Talat Ali had held a hearing at which Umar pleaded guilty and also apologised for his actions.
The selection committee and team management including head coach, Mickey Arthur is under fire after the disastrous five-match series against Australia, but Mani said the time was not right for making any changes.
PCB chairman Ehsan Mani said, "We incurred costs of around USD 2.2 million on the compensation case which we lost."
The International Cricket Council has said that the Indian cricket team was granted prior permission to wear military caps during the third ODI between India and Australia in Ranchi.
Recalling the move by India against Pakistan in the ICC and World Cup, Mani said that by indulging in such behaviour for a second time they have hurt their credibility and standing in the cricket world.
As a mark of respect to the CRPF jawans who lost their lives in the Pulawama terrorist attack, Indian cricketers sported the army cap and donated their match fee for the welfare of the families of the martyrs.
Mani said invitations were sent out to senior officials of India, England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other cricket boards before relations between India and Pakistan had deteriorated after the ghastly Pulwama terror attack.
