England may be set to complete another surprise appointment with managing director Rob Key in talks with Australian women's coach Matthew Mott to lead their white-ball side.
Mott has coached the formidable Aussie side since 2015, which included a 26 consecutive one-day international win streak, a record in either the men’s or women’s game. In addition to back-to-back Twenty20 World Cups, this year’s ODI World Cup and going undefeated in four Ashes series, Mott has overseen a truly dominant period for the team.
As Australia coach, Mott has been credited with helping the side develop their aggressive approach while developing young players. His philosophy as a coach emphasises ownership and individual responsibility. “The single most-used excuse is, 'I just didn't know my role and I wasn't clear on my role',” Mott said last year.
