"To give a person like Maxwell a chance, he's going to run with it," said Trott.

Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott admitted Saturday that his team "get it 70-80% right" but need to find an extra gear quickly if they are to end a demoralising run of 14 successive World Cup defeats.
"We were never communicated those calculations," Trott said in the post match press conference.
The Afghanistan head coach highlighted the fact that they beat Bangladesh in a ODI series for the first time in Bangladesh just recently.
Afghanistan’s head coach, Jonathan Trott and all-rounder, Azmatullah Omarzai have been fined 15 per cent of their respective match fees for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against Bangladesh in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
