Peter Moores has been appointed as the new Head Coach of Trent Rockets Men.

Moores, 62, spent the 2025 edition of The Hundred with the Rockets as an assistant coach to Andy Flower, with the side reaching the final of the tournament.

He moves up to replace the former Zimbabwe batter, who joined London Spirit last month.

“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.

“I see this as a great opportunity to continue on from the strong and successful foundations built by Andy Flower.”

Moores is the only man to win the County Championship title with three different sides, completing his trio this year with Nottinghamshire, where he has been in charge since September 2016.

In his first season with the Outlaws, he lifted both the One Day Cup and the T20 Blast trophies, and, including this year’s success, has since won a further three pieces of silverware.

His extensive CV also includes time spent as head coach of Melbourne Stars in Australia’s BBL and the PSL’s Karachi Kings, as well as two separate stints as England Head Coach.

“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," continued Moores.

“I’m especially looking forward to the auction, where we’ll be looking to ensure the squad is as strong as it can be as we continue to strive for success!”

Trent Rockets Director of Cricket Mick Newell added: “We’re really pleased to promote Peter to the role of Men’s Head Coach.

“It’s no exaggeration to say he’s one of the finest English head coaches of his generation, and his strong existing knowledge of Trent Bridge will be of great benefit in his new role.

“His winning mentality, his strong record of improving players, and the experience he gained last year, all make him a superb fit to take over the role from Andy Flower.”
