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<\/a> 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<\/a> 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peter Moores has stepped up to replace Andy Flower as head coach of Trent Rockets’ men’s side in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-263606","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
