England coach Matthew Mott

Matthew Mott has resigned as head coach of England's white-ball cricket team following disappointing performances in recent World Cups. His tenure saw initial success, including a T20 World Cup victory in 2022, but subsequent failures in the 50-over World Cup and the T20 World Cup led to his departure. Marcus Trescothick, the assistant coach, will serve as interim head coach as the search for a permanent replacement begins. Despite Mott's exit, captain Jos Buttler retains his position, with Rob Key, the ECB’s managing director, emphasizing the need for a new direction. Potential candidates to succeed Mott include Kumar Sangakkara and Andrew Flintoff, though their commitments may complicate their appointments. The ECB aims to secure a new coach in time for upcoming tours and the Champions Trophy scheduled for early next year.
