Top scorer addresses speculation around Matthew Mott‘We need to take responsibility when we cross that rope’
Dawid Malan believes it would be unfair for England’s head coach, Matthew Mott, to take the blame for a dire World Cup campaign. England arrived in India as reigning champions and among the favourites but have unravelled in dramatic fashion over the past month.
After six games they sit bottom of the table in 10th place, with a solitary win against Bangladesh, leaving Mott’s role under scrutiny. Speculation over the Australian’s position increased when Eoin Morgan, the side’s World Cup-winning former captain, said the squad seemed “unsettled” and later suggested England “take a leaf out of Baz’s book” – a direct reference to the Test coach, Brendon McCullum.
