The Sydney Sixers have made a strategic maneuver by appointing Matthew Mott, an illustrious former mentor of Australian and England cricket, as the new head coach for their women's team. This decision, effective for the next two years, marks a notable gain for the club.

Mott, renowned for his extensive coaching career and successful tenures, first joined the Sixers as an assistant coach for the men's team last season. His appointment follows the exit of Charlotte Edwards and involves significant responsibilities across both men's and women's teams, collaborating with Greg Shipperd for the men's squad.

Having led teams to multiple World Cup victories and Ashes series successes, Mott expressed enthusiasm for enhancing his rapport with the club and achieving more championships. This appointment aligns with the Sixers' aim for greatness as General Manager Rachael Haynes emphasized Mott's victory-breeding expertise and his role in further strengthening their cricket program.
