Matthew Mott is now on a new journey of coaching after stepping down as England’s white-ball coach. He will be seen as an assistant coach to Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League for the next 3-years.
After failing to defend the T20 World Cup trophy this year, Matthew has left the English camp. English and Wales Cricket Board has appointed Brendon McCullum as their new white-ball coach till 2027.
Matthew Mott has signed a 3-year contract with the Sydney Sixer management. He will be taking on the duties from this year as the new BBL season is about to begin in December 2024.
Under the coaching of Matthew Mott, England witnessed white-series wins against teams like Australia, Bangladesh, Ireland, New Zealand and Pakistan. However, a failure in the ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup raised questions about his coaching techniques and that led to the resignation of Mott from England’s coaching.
It will be his first assignment after leaving the English camp. Mott will be assisting the team under the head coach Greg Shipperd. Matthew is replacing Cameron White who has ed Melbourne Renegades as head coach.
Matthew Mott Coming Back Home
It is not the first Matthew Mott will be serving as a coach for an Australian team. He has served as the head coach of Australia’s Women’s Team from 2015 to 2022. Under his guidance, the team won the ODI World Cup 2022 and the T20 World Cup 2018 and 2020.
His familiarity with the Australian playing conditions will definitely benefit the Sydney Sixers. The Sixers will start their BBL 2024-25 campaign against Melbourne Renegades on December 15.
