ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
Chennai, Feb 20: Overwhelmed by emotions but content with the memories he made, Afghanistan’s English coach Jonathan Trott has bid adieu to the role that became his “by chance” four years ago.
The 44-year-old Trott exited from the position that was originally offered to fellow Englishman Graham Thorpe, who could not take it up at that time.
Afghanistan ended their campaign on Thursday with an 82-run win over Canada in their final group game after being knocked out of Super Eights contention.
Trott fought back emotions as he recounted his tenure with the side that has grown to be a serious contender in the white ball formats.
With Trott at helm, Afghanistan came quite close to qualifying for the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final, and made the cut for the knockout stage of the T20 World Cup 2024. (PTI)
