The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has announced that Jonathan Trott will remain the Head Coach of the national cricket team for 2025. This decision comes after his successful 2.5-year term, during which he helped the team grow and achieve great results in international cricket. Trott’s leadership has been a key factor in shaping Afghanistan’s cricket journey.

Trott played an important role in Afghanistan’s success at the ICC Men’s ODI Cricket World Cup. Under his guidance, the team defeated strong opponents like England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands. These victories secured Afghanistan a place in the top eight teams, ensuring their spot in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the first time in history.

Afghanistan also shone brightly at the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The team won five matches, beating New Zealand, Australia, and Bangladesh. For the first time ever, Afghanistan reached the semifinals in the tournament. These achievements show how Trott’s leadership has brought out the best in the players.

The ACB has expressed their gratitude to Trott for his hard work and dedication. They believe he will continue to play a big role in making Afghanistan cricket stronger on the world stage.

Currently, the Afghanistan cricket team is playing a multi-format series in Zimbabwe. The series includes three T20 matches, three ODIs, and two Test matches. Trott will only coach the team during the ODI series as he has personal commitments. For the T20Is and Tests, Hamid Hassan will take over as Head Coach temporarily, while Nawroz Mangal will assist as the Assistant Head Coach.
