The Delhi Capitals have just announced that they have appointed Matthew Mott as their new assistant coach for the upcoming IPL season in 2025. This exciting news was revealed by the franchise on Tuesday, causing a stir among fans and cricket enthusiasts alike.
Mott, who previously served as the assistant coach for the Kolkata Knight Riders under head coach John Buchanan in the first two seasons of the tournament, is set to work alongside the newly appointed head coach, Hemang Badani. The franchise also boasts a strong team of experienced coaches, with Venugopal Rao as their director of cricket and former Indian pacer Munaf Patel as their bowling coach.
Prior to joining the Delhi Capitals, Mott's most recent coaching role was with the England men's national team, where he played a crucial role in their T20 World Cup victory in 2022. However, he stepped down from his position in July last year after a mixed tenure. Following his departure, Mott was then appointed as an assistant coach for the Sydney Sixers in the BBL on a three-year deal in September.
Mott has had a highly successful career in women's cricket, leading the Australian women's team to two T20 World Cup victories and a 50-over World Cup title during his tenure from 2015 to 2022. His impressive track record and wealth of experience make him a valuable addition to the Delhi Capitals coaching staff.
The Delhi Capitals, who have only reached the final of the IPL once in their 16-year history, finished in sixth place in the previous edition. After releasing most of their big-ticket players, the franchise chose to retain only a few key players, including Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, and Abishek Porel. They then made some major signings in the mega auction last November, acquiring star players like KL Rahul, Harry Brook, Faf du Plessis, and Mitchell Starc.
Despite their strong team and coaching staff, the Delhi Capitals have yet to announce their captain for the upcoming IPL season. Fans eagerly await the franchise's decision as they gear up to kick off their campaign on March 24 against the Lucknow Super Giants at Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. It's sure to be an exciting season for the Delhi Capitals, and we can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
