Kabul: Former England cricketer Jonathan Trott has been named as the head coach of Afghanistan national cricket team.

He will step up into the role of head coach during Afghanistan’s tour to Ireland in August.

Jonathan Trott has played 52 test matches for England from 2009-2015, scoring 3835 runs at 44.08 with 9 centuries and 19 half-centuries to his name with the best of 226. He has also represented England in 68 One Day Internationals (ODIs) during the period, having scored 2838 runs at 51.25 with 4 hundreds and 22 half-centuries to his name in the format.

“I'm honoured and excited to have the opportunity to take one of international cricket's most exciting teams through what is a huge year for their development as a team,” he said.

He also believes that Afghanistan has proved to be a hotbed of talent, and has produced players capable of playing the game in their own style and with unrivalled passion.

“I can't wait to get to work with a group of players who are clearly capable of generating results in a style that will make the people of Afghanistan proud,” he said.

Afghanistan Cricket Team will fly to Ireland early in August where the team will feature in 5 T20Is starting August 9.
