Former England batsman Jonathan Trott will leave as Afghanistan coach after the T20 World Cup in February-March, the country’s cricket board has said.

The South Africa-born 44-year-old, who has been in charge since 2022, took the Afghans to the T20 World Cup semi-finals last year.

It was their first time in the last four of a World Cup and Trott oversaw Afghanistan’s rise as a white-ball team who could challenge the best.

“It has been a privilege to work with the Afghanistan national team and to witness their passion, resilience and hunger to achieve greatness,” said Trott.
