English cricket has announced a new leadership role for Jonathan Trott with the England Lions.

Jonathan Trott has been appointed head coach of the England Lions.

He replaces Andrew Flintoff in the position.

Trott took charge of the team for its recent T20 matches against Sri Lanka.

Those matches ended in wins for the side under his guidance.

The appointment follows directly from his involvement in the recent T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Andrew Flintoff previously held the head coach role for the England Lions.

Jonathan Trott now succeeds him after the successful T20 results.

The England Lions will continue under Trott following these changes.

This move comes after the team recorded T20 victories in the series against Sri Lanka.

Fans of English domestic and development cricket will note the transition from Andrew Flintoff to Jonathan Trott.

The recent T20 wins against Sri Lanka mark the period when Trott took over team responsibilities.
