Australian women's WC-winning coach Mott signs 2-year extension

SYDNEY: Australian women's cricket team's World Cup-winning coach, Matthew Mott, on Friday signed a two-year extension that will see him remain with the side until after the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup in South Africa.

Ben Sawyer, who guided the Sydney Sixers to Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) titles in 2016/17 and 2017/18 and is with the Birmingham Phoenix in the inaugural edition of The Hundred, will also return to the coaching group as the side's full-time pace bowling coach.

"I'm absolutely delighted to sign on for an extra two years and to have the support from Ben, Nick (Hockley, Cricket Australia CEO) and the Board. As a team there's a lot of stuff in front of us to be excited about and I'm looking forward to being a part of it," Mott told the Cricket Australia (CA) website. IANS
