England's new white-ball coach Matthew Mott is looking forward to collaborating with Test coach Brendon McCullum and ECB's Managing Director Rob Key to take England Cricket forward.
Recently, the English board announced Mott as the head coach of their limited-overs setup when he was preferred over ex-England captain Paul Collingwood.
While speaking about his new job, Mott said that there are a lot of similarities between the Australian women's team and the current England white-ball team.
"There is a lot of similarities and that's certainly what we spoke about in the interview process," Matthew Mott told SEN WA radio.
"I took over a very successful team when I started, and to be honest, we almost seemed to be going backwards for a little bit. It wasn't until the 2017 World Cup [when Australia lost at the semi-final stage] that we had to really start from scratch.
"It was the pivotal moment for that team, they had to come up with some solutions on why we were being timid under pressure, and it was the playing group themselves who got together."
While speaking about his relationship with McCullum, the ex-Australian women's head coach said that he had an excellent bonding with the former New Zealand skipper.
"I have a great relationship with Brendon (McCullum), I worked with him at KKR, and he was pretty close to getting me to New Zealand a few years ago. We are very different people. It's exciting the mix we'll have, especially Rob, myself, and Brendon, with three really good, different ideas coming in."
"Different systems have different needs," he said.
"For me, it will be great to go back and watch some county cricket, get to know some of the fringe players; I think that's important for me," England's white-ball head coach concluded.
