Jonathan Trott is appointed head coach of the England Lions, taking over the role vacated by Andrew Flintoff. ESPN Cricinfo reports that Trott has been in charge of the team for recent T20 wins against Sri Lanka, and the appointment is confirmed for this winter.
Sky Sports likewise says Trott will coach the England Lions during the winter period, following Flintoff’s departure. The outlets align on the key transition—Flintoff leaving and Trott stepping in—and on the timing of Trott’s leadership before and during the winter schedule.
While both sources confirm the appointment and the replacement, ESPN Cricinfo adds the detail that Trott’s recent involvement includes leading England Lions to T20 victories over Sri Lanka. Sky Sports focuses more directly on the role change and the winter coaching timeframe.
