England white-ball coach

Matthew Mott has stepped down as England's white-ball head coach following disappointing performances in recent World Cups, leaving Marcus Trescothick as interim coach. Mott's tenure, which began in May 2022 and included a T20 World Cup victory, ended after England's poor outings in the ODI and T20 World Cups, prompting the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to seek a 'new direction'. Despite scrutiny, white-ball captain Jos Buttler has received backing to continue leading the team. Trescothick is set to lead England during a series against Australia while the ECB searches for a permanent replacement. Among potential candidates are former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara and ex-England batsman Jonathan Trott, while Andrew Flintoff's candidacy remains uncertain due to his ongoing recovery from a serious injury. The ECB emphasizes the need for a focused approach with the Champions Trophy approaching in early 2025.
