Former determined English batter turned coach Jonathan Trott has signed off his coaching stint where it comes to international duties on a positive in the sense that his Afghanistan team (which he has been

\n\n

coaching for the last several cricketing months) ended their preliminary group stage with a vital victory over Canada by 82 runs. It was yet another occasion where under the watchful and protective eyes of Trott, his Afghan team plundered another 200 run score, blanking their opponents to just 118 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

Maybe that’s a mark of true gents that despite the lack of utter satisfaction or an absence of glee given the situations in which they’ve been treated leading to their exit - they don’t try to dramatise a situation and avoid drama whilst stating facts. Which is what Jonathan Trott did!

That being said let us pause for a moment to recollect all Trott achieved as coach during his term for the Afghans, a unit he galvanised using character building and that ability to truly express themselves being his key forces:

3 Major Feats Afghanistan Cricket achieved under coaching of Jonathan Trott

1. Historic 2024 ICC T20 World Cup Semi-Final

Afghanistan reached their first-ever T20 World Cup semi-final under Trott. They achieved notable wins over strong teams (e.g., Australia and Bangladesh) en route. This marked Afghanistan’s biggest global success in the T20 format.

2. Near-Miss at the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup

Afghanistan, let it be remembered, narrowly missed the semi-final, finishing just short of qualification. The campaign included shock wins against England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, highlighting their rise as a competitive white-ball side.

3. Qualification for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy

By finishing among the top eight teams in the 2023 World Cup standings, Afghanistan qualified for the Champions Trophy for the first time.
