The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has confirmed the extension of Jonathan Trott's contract as the head coach of the national cricket team until 2025. Trott, a former England cricketer, has proved his worth during his 2.5-year stint with the team, leading them to significant milestones in the ODI World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024. Despite previously considering parting ways with Afghanistan, Trott has been convinced to stay on for another year, with the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 in mind. His absence in the T20I series against Zimbabwe will be covered by interim head coach Hamid Hassan, and assistant coach Nawroz Mangal.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has announced that Jonathan Trott will continue as the head coach for the national team in 2025. This decision comes after Trott's successful tenure of two and a half years, during which Afghanistan recorded victories against top teams like England and Pakistan in the ODI Cricket World Cup in 2023. With this confirmation, Trott will lead Afghanistan's charge in major tournaments and further develop the team's potential.
