England cricket team’s limited format head coach Matthew Mott has resigned from his role today on 30 July. It is worth noting that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) was not happy with the performance of the England team and Matthew Mott in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024.

Also, some media reports at the beginning of last week claimed that Mott could resign from his role at the beginning of the coming week. At the same time, the name of former legendary all-rounder Andrew Flintoff seems to be at the forefront in the race to become the new white ball cricket coach of the English team.

It is worth noting that in the year 2022, the ECB had decided that a separate coach would be arranged for the team in Test cricket and a separate coach in ODI and T20 formats. Due to this decision of the board, Matthew Mott was given the responsibility of coaching the limited overs format, while Brendon McCullum was given this responsibility in Test cricket.

So in the year 2022, the England cricket team has won the T20 World Cup under the coaching of Mott. However, the ECB was very unhappy with Mott’s performance in the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India last year and the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 held in West Indies and USA.

Matthew Mott issued a statement

So, regarding his role, Matthew Mott said through a press release issued by the ECB – I am extremely proud to coach the England men’s team. It is an honor. We have put everything into trying to achieve success over the last two years, and I am incredibly proud of the character and passion the team has shown during that period, including the spectacular victory of the T20 World Cup in 2022.
