KABUL. — Former England batter Jonathan Trott has signed a contract extension as Afghanistan head coach following their remarkable World Cup campaign in India.
Afghanistan finished sixth of 10 teams at the 50-overs World Cup where they registered upset wins over former winners England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and came close to humbling eventual champions Australia.
The 42-year-old, who has signed an extension to the end of the year, also oversaw Afghanistan’s T20 series victory against Pakistan and a one-day series win against Bangladesh in his first stint.
“The decision comes in after his successful 18-month tenure, during which he made significant contributions to the team’s progress and development,” the Afghanistan Cricket Board said in a statement on Monday. — Reuters.
