LONDON : England white-ball head coach Matthew Mott has stepped down following their Twenty20 World Cup semi-final exit against eventual champions India last month, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Tuesday.
Matthew Mott on Tuesday stepped down as England's white ball coach following their recent failure to defend the T20 World Cup title, and he has been replaced with former opener Marcus Trescothick on an interim basis. England were knocked out of the ICC showpiece by eventual champions India in the semifinal, while the Three Lions were also unsuccessful in holding on to their 50-over World Cup trophy last year. However, Mott's tenure began with England bagging their second T20 World Cup in 2022 in Australia, beating Pakistan in the final.
India took a firm grip on the fifth and final Test match after dominating England on Day 1 at the HPCA Stadiumin Dharamsala on Thursday.
England cricket team assistant coach Marcus Trescothick made a bizarre claim that they will not study their opponents much after India dominated proceedings on Day 1 of the fifth Test match in Dharamsala on Thursday. England squandered a solid start as Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin bundled them out for just 218. Later, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma both scored half-centuries as the hosts took control of the match. Trescothick said that England are looking to 'stay level' and make a comeback but pointed out that they are a unique side who will not look too much into their opponents.
England batters, who have failed miserably in the World Cup so far, need to read situations better as their team looks to bounce back from the brink, hinted assistant coach Marcus Trescothick on Saturday. England's all out approach with the bat has backfired in Indian conditions including at venues like Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, where other teams have piled on the runs. Ahead of the game against India, Trescothick was asked about the team's batting tempo and frequent collapses in the tournament. "We have an attitude to how we've gone about batting in the last however many years since our white-ball cricket has changed and evolved. And it's always trying to be positive," said the former England opener.
Australia openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja hit unbeaten fifties as the tourists reached 135/0 on a rain-shortened Sunday in pursuit of a mammoth target of 384 runs to win the fifth Ashes Test at The Oval.
