This marks Mott's return to women's cricket, more than three years after stepping down as head coach of the Australian women's team following a highly successful tenure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Edwards vacated her position last month to become the new head coach of England Women. On Friday, the Sixers confirmed Mott\u2019s appointment on a two-year deal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Currently in India as assistant coach with IPL franchise Delhi Capitals, the 51-year-old has been active on the franchise circuit since his departure as England men\u2019s white-ball head coach after a disappointing post-2022 T20 World Cup period. This summer, he is also set to lead the Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket, a team co-owned by Delhi Capitals' parent group, GMR.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
During his time with the Australian women's team, Mott guided them to T20 World Cup titles in 2018 and 2020, and the 2022 ODI World Cup. He later led England\u2019s men to the 2022 T20 World Cup title but was removed following a poor run of results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mott also has a longstanding connection with Cricket New South Wales, having coached their men\u2019s side from 2007 to 2011.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m absolutely delighted to be working with the Sixers women\u2019s team. I\u2019ve had a strong connection with the club over many years, so when the opportunity came up, it was one I was really keen to take on,\" Mott said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHaving coached a number of players in the current squad, I\u2019m looking forward to reconnecting with them \u2014 as well as working with some of the younger talent \u2014 as we push to secure another WBBL title. The list is already stacked with talent, including players who\u2019ve achieved success at various levels. We\u2019re looking to build on that at the Draft and put ourselves in a position to bring home a championship again this season,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
General Manager Rachael Haynes praised his credentials, highlighting his ability to \"build a strong, winning culture\" and bring a \"world-class approach\" to the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"There are few coaches in world cricket who have achieved a similar track-record of success and \u2018Motty\u2019 has proven that he knows what it takes to build a strong, winning culture. Motty was a fantastic addition to our men\u2019s coaching group last season, and we\u2019re really pleased that he will also continue in his role assisting the BBL side under the guidance of Greg Shipperd.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAs a club we strive to be world-class in all that we do, from our match day experience to our on-field performances, and we\u2019re excited to see Motty bring that same world-class approach to our program over the next two years,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
