(Reuters) - Jonathan Trott will continue as Afghanistan's head coach until the end of 2025 after being awarded a one-year extension, the country's cricket board said.

Afghanistan made significant progress under former England batsman Trott, reaching the semi-finals of the Twenty20 World Cup for the first time earlier this year.
