Former batsman Jonathan Trott has been appointed England’s batting coach for the upcoming three-Test series against Pakistan, starting Wednesday. Trott, who scored 3835 runs in 52 Tests between 2009-2015 for England, will be joined by former New Zealand spinner Jeetan Patel and Warwickshire seamer Graeme Welch, the ‘BBC’ reported.
The 39-year-old Trott, who played 68 ODIs and seven T20 matches, has scored 18,662 runs in first class cricket.
England and Pakistan will lock horns in a three-match Test series starting Wednesday at the Old Traford in Manchester, followed by the next two games in the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
England won the recently-concluded three-Test series, that mark the resumption of international cricket, against West Indies 2-1.
