Both Flower and Luden had signed two-year contracts, starting July 2014, and are on three-month extended contracts already. The PCB told ESPNcricinfo that the contracts will be further extended for one more year.There was a possibility of Arthur suggesting a new coaching staff but he endorsed the duo and also brought in a new fielding coach in Steve Rixon from Australia. The entire coaching staff now has one-year contracts other than Azhar Mehmood who will join the Pakistan team as bowling coach only for the limited-overs leg of the England tour. Arthurs own contract is for one year with a one-year extension subject to performances.Pakistans batting had been one of their major weaknesses earlier and the PCB had turned to former captains Inzamam-ul-Haq, Javed Miandad and Zaheer Abbas to bring about improvements. With Flowers appointment, Pakistan witnessed considerable improvements in their batsmen. Pakistans average runs per wicket was just 28.89 between January 2012 and February 2014.

Under him, Pakistan batsmen have converted 48.43% of half-centuries into centuries - 31 hundreds out of 64 50-plus scores - which is the most among all teams by a distance. South Africa and Australia are next with under 41% conversions.Pakistan had their highest successful Test chase last year in Pallekele when they scored 382 - the sixth-highest successful chase in Tests. Pakistans No. 6 have averaged 61 in Tests since July 2014, which is way higher than any other teams No. 6. Under Flower, Pakistans fourth innings average is also the highest among all teams.With Luden in the staff, Pakistan developed an imposing fitness criteria that helped players raise their fitness levels.

Chris Froome is set to win the 2016 Tour de France after safely negotiating a treacherous penultimate stage to Morzine which was won by Spaniard Jon Izaguirre.A day after crashing in similar conditions, Froome remained upright on the long, wet descent off the Col de Joux Plane alongside his rivals, and will go into Sundays largely processional stage into Paris leading by four minutes and five seconds from Frenchman Romain Bardet of AG2R La Mondiale.Much of the penultimate 146.5km stage from Megeve was played out in heavy rain but Froome was able to avoid late drama after dominating this Tour.The 31-year-old will become only the eighth man, not including the disgraced Lance Armstrong, to win three or more Tours after his victories in 2013 and 2015, and is the first to defend the Tour title since Miguel Indurain in 1995.He will join Philippe Thys, Louison Bobet and Greg LeMond on three titles, and will now have his eyes set on five-time winners Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Indurain.I still need to get the yellow jersey to Paris tomorrow but certainly the racing side is done and dusted, Froome said. Its an amazing feeling of relief, just coming over the last line today. Thank you to all my teammates, theyve really been there for me every step of the way and I couldnt ask for more.Izaguirre was the last survivor of what had been a 37-man breakaway earlier in the day, racing clear of Vincenzo Nibali and Jarlinson Pantano on the sodden descent to take his first Tour de France stage win.Behind, there was little drama with none of Froomes main rivals prepared to risk crashing in the slippery conditions.Froome was content to cross the line four minutes and 18 seconds after Movistars Izaguirre, allowing himself half a smile as he thanked his team-mates on the approach to the line. His primary emotion was of relief as the foul weather had set a potential trap in the Alps.The Briton has looked a cut above all of his rivals since early in the second week of this Tour, but Fridays crash had been a reminder that nothing was won yet.He began the day sporting bandages on his knee and elbow from that spill, and would not have relaxed for a moment knowing he had to fface the technical descent into Morzine before any celebrations could begin.

The others were less good.There has not been a home winner of the Tour since Hinault in 1985, and Bardets second place is only the third for a French rider in 20 years.Nairo Quintana, seen as Froomes main pre-Tour rival, is set for third place, four minutes and 21 seconds behind Froome. It will be the Colombians third podium finish in the Tour after the Movistar rider finished second to Froome in 2013 and 2015.Adam Yates, the 23-year-old Briton, is fourth, four minutes 42 seconds down and safe in the white jersey as the best young rider -- the first Briton to wear it in to Paris.This is only my second Tour de France and only my third Grand Tour, the Orica-BikeExchange rider said.
