Matthew Mott Open to Coaching England Women, Reflects on Australia’s Success

Posted : 30 January 2025

Former England men's white-ball coach Matthew Mott has left the door open to coaching the England women's team, though he is currently content with his ongoing commitments. Mott, who guided England to T20 World Cup victory in 2022 alongside Jos Buttler, stepped down from his role in July last year.

 

His coaching career with Australia's women, where he won two T20 World titles and a 50-over World Cup, was highly successful, and he now enjoys new challenges, including his recent role as assistant coach of the Sydney Sixers.

 

The England women's team is currently under pressure, having lost all six white-ball matches on their tour of Australia and fighting to avoid a clean sweep in the Melbourne Test. Coach Jon Lewis is facing scrutiny following the team’s lackluster performances, while off-field tensions have also emerged.

 

 In the lead-up to the first T20, a public rift occurred between England spinner Sophie Ecclestone and former player Alex Hartley, reigniting debates about the team’s fitness and fielding in comparison to Australia.

 

Reflecting on his time with Australia's women’s team, Mott highlighted the emphasis on continuous improvement and a culture of honesty. He shared that the team’s success came from a mindset where every day was an opportunity to improve, and veterans like Ellyse Perry and Meg Lanning led by example, admitting mistakes and encouraging younger players to do the same.

 

 Though Lanning retired in 2023, Australia’s dominance in the Women's Ashes and their strong form heading into the 50-over World Cup suggest they remain a formidable force in women’s cricket.
