Matthew Mott leaves the role of head coach of England cricket team in limited overs format, read big news
In the year 2022, Mott was appointed to the England cricket team. Matthew Mott (Image Credit- Twitter X) 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.
“This is the template we want to play with”- Suryakumar explains India’s approach in the T20 format
India’s newly appointed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav stressed the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and fearless approach after his team’s consecutive victories against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. Suryakumar has performed brilliantly with the bat on both days. The Indian team started the T20 series with a 43-run win on Saturday. They then won the second T20I by seven wickets at Pallekele on Sunday. Meanwhile, in the press conference after the match, Surya talked about the team’s future strategy in the shortest format and how Team India will approach the format in the upcoming matches. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with – Suryakumar Yadav Suryakumar Yadav said after the match, “We talked about what kind of cricket we want to play before the start of the tournament. This is the ‘template’ we want to move forward with.” He further said, “A score of less than 160 would have been good in bad weather. The rain helped us. The way the boys batted was fantastic.” Now the result of the last match of the series will not matter, so when Suryakumar was asked if there is a possibility of some players from the ‘reserve bench’ getting a chance, he said, “We will sit and decide. I am very happy for the boys. They performed very well in difficult circumstances.” India’s googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi was happy that his ‘wrong on’ ball is proving to be effective for him. Ravi Bishnoi, who became the player of the match in the second T20 against Sri Lanka, said after the match, “The pitch was a little different from yesterday. Today in the first innings it helped the spinners. I stuck to my plan. I like to bowl the ‘wrong on’ ball. It is a good responsibility because it means that the captain and management trust me.”

Ravindra Jadeja’s name is not in the team selected for the three-match ODI series, seeing which the fans were a bit surprised. Since then, there has been a constant debate about why Jadeja has not been selected in the team. He has been an important part of India’s ODI team for more than 10 years. Now some important reports are coming out about Ravindra Jadeja. The new management under the captaincy of head coach Gautam Gambhir is looking for a future replacement for the spin all-rounder keeping in mind the upcoming Champions Trophy. Jadeja is not in BCCI’s plans for ODI cricket. The Men in Blue will play only six ODIs before the Champions Trophy and the goal is to use these six matches to give match time to Akshar and Sundar. BCCI is looking for a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja One of the sources close to the developments told Hindustan Times that there is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance but the management wants to build a team for the future. A BCCI source told Hindustan Times, “India have only six ODIs to play before the Champions Trophy next year, including three in Sri Lanka. The selectors want to use Axar Patel and Washington Sundar in all the matches by giving them more chances.” He further said, “There is nothing wrong with Jadeja’s performance. The management wants to consider other options because we have to build a team for the future.” Axar was part of India’s squad in the ODI World Cup 2023 but was ruled out due to an injury ahead of the tournament. Since then, he has done a commendable job in the shortest format of the game and was a key player for the Rohit Sharma-led side in the T20 World Cup 2024. Axar has played 57 ODIs so far in which he has taken 60 wickets and scored 489 runs. When it comes to Washington, he is expected to get opportunities in white-ball cricket. He performed well in the recent Zimbabwe series and is expected to continue the same momentum.

This all-rounder of Team India would prove to be a legend in Test format, but…. Why did Gautam Gambhir take the name of this player after years?
Gautam Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Gautam Gambhir. (Image Source: GG Instagram) Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir had recently said that Yuvraj Singh should have played more Test matches in his career. The whole world knows that Yuvraj Singh is the uncrowned king of white ball cricket and a player like him has not been seen in Team India till now. Yuvraj Singh was the match-winning player of Team India, although he could not last long in the Test format. But now he could not convert his success into the Test format. Yuvraj Singh’s career Yuvraj Singh’s statistics are excellent. He has scored 8965 runs in 139 matches at an average of 44.16. However, his numbers declined when it came to red-ball cricket at the international level. He scored only 1900 runs at an average of 33.92 after 40 matches. Gambhir said that Yuvraj’s Test record could have improved with time and his red-ball record could also have been better. Let us know what he said- “When we talk about statistics or performance, you see what an amazing performance Yuvi has shown in the 2011 World Cup. He was the player of the tournament in the 2011 World Cup. Look at what Yuvi did in 2007 also. You pick up Yuvi’s performance, what he has done for India. You look at Yuvi’s innings against Australia, look at his innings against England. You see Yuvi’s impact in the 2007 T20 World, I have tried to tell the world again what Yuvi has achieved in his career. I just want to remind world cricket of these things.” “I consider Yuvi to be the best player in ODI and T-20. I have not seen a better player than him in white ball cricket. Yuvi’s performance not only in batting but also in bowling and fielding is astonishing. There is no other player like him in India. But unfortunately we talk less about Yuvi. Which is absolutely wrong. There are many reasons behind this but I do not want to tell them here.” “See, Yuvi has played very little Test cricket. If he had got a chance to play more Tests, his records would have been excellent. He could do well in tests also. I would definitely say that Yuvi has got less opportunity to play Test.”
