A shock announcement has rocked English cricket as Matthew Mott has stepped down as the team’s white-ball coach. The decision comes after a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign where England failed to defend their title, and with the 50-over World Cup trophy also lost in 2023.
Mott, who took charge in 2022, oversaw England’s triumphant T20 World Cup victory in Australia but has faced increasing pressure following the team’s subsequent struggles. Marcus Trescothick, the current assistant coach, will take over on an interim basis for the upcoming series against Australia.
The ECB is now on the hunt for a new white-ball coach as they look to rebuild and regain their dominance in limited-overs cricket. Several names, including former captain Eoin Morgan, Andrew Flintoff, and Mike Hussey, have been mentioned as potential candidates.
This development marks a significant turning point for English cricket, with the team facing the challenge of redefining its white-ball strategy and style of play.
What do you think about Mott’s resignation? Who do you think should be the next England white-ball coach?
