Jonathan Trott praises the progress of his Afghanistan team in ODI cricket this World Cup as they await a 'crucial' match against the Netherlands
Jonathan Trott has praised the progress of his Afghanistan team in ODI cricket during the World Cup and urged them to continue with a good start in their 'crucial' match against the Netherlands. Afghanistan have been the surprise package of the tournament so far with wins against traditional heavyweights Pakistan, Sri Lanka and defending champions England.
'So, wanting and trying to enable batters and give them the game and help them grow the game so they can have both facets of it: pressure, soaking it up, rotation of strike, and obviously accelerating and boundary hitting,' said Trott. With six points gained on the eve of their seventh match at the Cricket World Cup, Afghanistan sit firmly in the mix for a semi-final spot.
