It is safe to say that the Afghanistan cricket team has played some good cricket in the last few months, and their performances in the Asia Cup were also appreciated by many. They have some great names in the coaching staff and their work is in front of everyone as well.
Jonathan Trott, the former English batter is the head coach of the side. Trott was appointed as the head coach earlier this year and he brings a lot of experience in international cricket. He scored 3835 test runs with the help of 9 centuries and 19 half-centuries before taking a break from cricket due to mental health in 2013-14.
The bowling has been the biggest strength of the side, and Pakistan’s former pacer Umar Gul is the team’s bowling coach. Spinners have always been Afghanistan’s strength, but the pacers have also done a decent job for the side. Gul joined the team earlier this year in May.
Raees Ahmadzai is the assistant coach of the side, whereas South African Ryan Maron is the fielding coach of the side.
