We will come back 'bigger, badder and better', says England coach Matthew Mott after T20 WC exit

England white-ball coach Matthew Mott is ready to take the result chin-up but promises to return ‘bigger, badder and better’ following the T20 World Cup exit. Mott and Captain Jos Buttler faced wrath for an embarrassing outing against India in the second semis of the ongoing showpiece event in the Americas, with local media reports suggesting a change in the leadership group going forward. Although none of the stakeholders have spoken about it, Mott feels he can retain his job and be back in style.

England was there and still not there in their semis clash against India in Guyana. Though they had a couple of daunting wins to boast about in their lead-up to the final four, losses to Australia and South Africa and a washout game against Scotland, where they hit them for 90/0 in ten overs, didn’t present the best picture about their preparations.

However, speaking to the media a day after a 68-run loss at the hands of India, Mott took a sly dig at them, saying they have done their job of making headlines at the England Team’s result but vowed to reflect on the journey and come back stronger.

"Obviously, we're in a result-driven business, and you guys [in the media] will have your fun at our expense, I'm sure,” Mott said to the media personals, as quoted by Sky Sports. "But when you wake up in the morning and have a crack, do your best, you can sleep at night knowing sometimes results are out of your control. I absolutely love what I do, I'm excited about where we can go.

"We'll lick our wounds in the next week or two, and then, I'm sure we'll get back to planning. We'll take time to reflect when we get back and then hopefully come back bigger, badder and better,” he continued.

‘Under Jos and I, England will prosper’

Putting aside the speculations of the board seeking better options as a head coach, Mott said under his and Jos Buttler’s tutelage, England’s white-ball cricket will prosper.

"Jos and I, as a partnership, have been galvanised in the last six months. You learn more about leadership in times of adversity.

"I think if you asked around the dressing room, we've got a lot of people in the support staff that have given credit to the leadership group for the way we've stuck together in tricky circumstances. Sometimes it's not all about results,” Mott continued.

Meanwhile, England will now face West Indies in the three-match Test series starting July 10 at Lord’s.
