Struggling Orcas Cut Ties With Coach Mott; Klaasen Steps Down As Captain
According to an official statement on the MLC website, the decision was made due to “differences in coaching and management strategies".
In another shake-up, captain Heinrich Klaasen has stepped down to focus on his batting, with Zimbabwean all-rounder Sikandar Raza taking over the leadership duties.
"This is a moment of reflection and renewal for the Seattle Orcas. This has been a tough run for the team, and with it, some difficult decisions had to be made. We are grateful to Matthew for his commitment and professionalism during his time with us, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavours," said Hemant Dua, CEO of the team.
"We respect Heinrich's decision to step down voluntarily as captain to focus on his batting. This reflects his character and team-first mindset. Sikandar was our unanimous choice once we heard from Klassen about his decision. We believe these changes set the stage for a strong second half of the season."
