Peter Moores has stepped up to replace Andy Flower as head coach of Trent Rockets’ men’s side in The Hundred.<\/p>\n
Moores, 62, was Flower’s assistant during the 2025 edition of the tournament, where the Rockets were beaten in the final by Oval Invincibles.<\/p>\n
Zimbabwean Flower, 57, left the Rockets to replace Justin Langer as head coach of London Spirit last month.<\/p>\n
“It feels like a good time to be taking over the Rockets, and I’m really excited about the opportunity to lead the team,” said Moores.<\/p>\n
“I see this as a great opportunity to continue on from the strong and successful foundations built by Andy Flower.”<\/p>\n
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly’s company Cain International has agreed to buy a 49% share of Trent Rockets, with Nottinghamshire Cricket Club retaining control of the other 51%. Confirmation of the deal is yet to be formally announced.<\/p>\n
“The investment and energy that’s coming into The Hundred, and the change of ownership at the Rockets in particular, make it a really exciting time,” added Moores.<\/p>\n
Moores led Nottinghamshire to the County Championship title this year, becoming the only man to win the competition with three different sides – having previously done so with Sussex and Lancashire.<\/p>\n
He has been Nottinghamshire head coach since 2016 and signed a new three-year deal with the club in August.<\/p>\n
Moores also spent two spells as England head coach – between 2007 and 2009, before returning to replace Flower in 2014 – but was sacked after a poor World Cup and drawn Test series in West Indies in 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
