A step in right direction for Afghanistan: Trott on first-ever bilateral series against India

The Hindu  

Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott on Saturday termed the first-ever bilateral white ball series against India a “step in the right direction” and hoped his side will get more chances against other countries as well in future. We want to play as many series as possible in other countries as well.” The Afghan players have vast experience in playing all over the world in franchise cricket, but Trott said nothing can really match the exposure of playing as a team in bilateral series. "Individually, the players have been around the world, but we hope to go to countries as a team,” Trott said. I'm really looking forward to seeing how we go up against the world-class players.” Trott used Afghanistan’s good outing in the ODI World Cup as a pathway to the future.
