Overview
- The Sydney Sixers announced on Wednesday that Matthew Mott will be their Big Bash League head coach on a reported two-year deal.
- Mott takes the role after James Hopes unexpectedly left the job less than two months after his appointment, leaving the Sixers with a quick coaching vacancy.
- As part of the move Mott will step down as the Sixers' WBBL head coach and the club plans to name his WBBL replacement later this week.
- Mott brings extensive international success including seven years as Australia women’s coach with multiple World Cups and Ashes wins and a spell as England's white-ball coach.
- The club says separate BBL and WBBL leadership responds to shifting competition windows and aims to protect continuity for players and staff as the Sixers try to convert recent strong finishes into trophies.
