The Delhi Capitals (DC) have made a major addition to their coaching staff for the IPL 2025 season, appointing two-time World Cup-winning coach Matthew Mott as their new assistant coach. This move signals a shift in strategy as DC looks to rebuild after parting ways with Ricky Ponting and losing Rishabh Pant to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a record-breaking deal.
Mott’s Coaching Pedigree: A Proven Winner
Matthew Mott brings a wealth of experience, having coached Australia’s dominant women’s team to multiple World Cup victories and later leading England’s white-ball squads. Under his guidance, Australia’s women’s team lifted the 2018 and 2020 T20 World Cups, along with the 2022 ODI World Cup, cementing their reputation as an unstoppable force. His most recent stint saw him take charge of England’s limited-overs setup, guiding them to the 2022 T20 World Cup title before stepping down in 2024.
With a deep understanding of modern cricket strategies, Mott’s arrival is expected to add a fresh tactical perspective to the Delhi Capitals’ dugout.
Delhi Capitals’ Coaching Overhaul for IPL 2025
The Capitals have reshuffled their backroom staff for the upcoming season, opting for a mix of domestic and international expertise. Mott joins a newly assembled coaching team that includes Hemang Badani as head coach and Venugopal Rao as Director of Cricket. His appointment replaces long-time assistant coach Pravin Amre, whose tenure with DC ended after a decade.
