Mott’s the Poms’ man

MATTHEW Mott, the 48year-old head coach of the Australia women’s side, is the surprise choice to lead the England men’s limited-overs teams.

Mott has overseen huge success for Australia since taking charge in 2015. It has won 40 of its past 42 one-day internationals and lifted the World Cup last month.

It is also the holder of the T20 World Cup.

Mott and Brendon McCullum, the new Test head coach, have a good relationship and have similar ideas about responsibility and style of play.
