Delhi Capitals appoint Matthew Mott as assistant coach for IPL 2025

The Delhi Capitals have appointed Matthew Mott as their assistant coach for the 2025 IPL season, marking a significant strategic shift in their coaching staff. Mott, a former head coach of the England white-ball team and the Australian women's team, is celebrated for his success in T20 cricket, including leading England to the T20 World Cup title in 2022. Joining head coach Hemang Badani and director of cricket Venugopal Rao, Mott's extensive experience is viewed as a pivotal addition for a franchise seeking its first IPL title. This restructuring comes after a disappointing previous season where the Capitals finished sixth and failed to qualify for the playoffs. The team is aiming for a turnaround with a revamped squad and coaching staff, hoping to capitalize on Mott's proven track record. The Capitals will kick off their 2025 campaign against the Lucknow Super Giants on March 24.
