ENGLAND'S cricketers have called in Manchester City's mind guru to master the art of the title defence.
Coach Matthew Mott believes his side got into a mental muddle last year when their bid to land back-to-back 50-over World Cups backfired badly.
So, City sports psychologist David Young will be loaned to England in the Caribbean next week to try to avoid a repeat in their T20 World Cup defence.
He began work with the squad this week.
Mott said: "One of the more exciting things we've done is get David Young on board.
"He's previously been with the team and he's already been a great ally in making sure my messages are clear.
"It's good to have someone who's a little bit removed from the squad to make sure you're landing your messages.
