KABUL - Former England opener Andy Moles has been appointed as director of cricket and chief selector of Afghanistan.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) tweeted: “Moles appointed as Director of Cricket and Chief Selector…”
The ex-British cricketer served as interim head coach of Afghanistan in the recently concluded tour of Bangladesh.
The visitors upset Bangladesh in the one-off Test by a huge margin of 224 runs last month before the two sides shared the tri-series trophy.
“He has a vast experience of over 25 years in the sport and is a Level-4 coach as well,” said the board, which recently fire former South Africa all-rounder Lance Klusener as head coach.
Moles previously worked with Afghanistan as coach between 2014 and 2015 and as interim head coach after the departure of Phil Simmons. (Pajhwok)
