“I’m absolutely delighted to sign on for an extra two years and to have the support from Ben, Nick and the Board. As a team there’s a lot of stuff in front of us to be excited about and I’m looking forward to being a part of it," Mott said.
“Obviously we play India to start off the summer and the Ashes is a massive series for us, but the one-day World Cup in March has been a key driver of the team over the past few years after a disappointing result at the 2017 event in England.
“There’s a lot to look forward to over the next few years, including our first Commonwealth Games appearance, so it’s a really exciting time to be involved."
Australia will return to international action on September 19 with an ODI & T20I series against India as well as a one-off Test.
