London Spirit has appointed Mo Bobat as their Director of Cricket, with his tenure beginning on October 1, 2025, amidst the ongoing The Hundred 2025. Mo Bobat is known for shaping England’s high-performance setup, and he is currently working as Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) director in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Mo Bobat has been serving as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) Director of Cricket since the 2024 IPL season. He brought with him over a decade of experience from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), where he served as performance director from 2019.
He stepped down from the ECB in February 2024 to join RCB, but his association with the franchise had begun earlier as a consultant.

Bobat’s strong bond with Royal Challengers Bengaluru head coach Andy Flower that they built during their ECB days has further boosted his chances for the top role in the IPL team.
At RCB, Bobat oversees everything from scouting and recruiting talent to shaping performance strategies and building a culture aimed at long-term success. He was a key figure behind England’s triumphs in the 2019 ODI World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Mo Bobat's successful RCB journey
And earlier this year, under his leadership, RCB lifted their first-ever IPL trophy in 2025. Given his rich portfolio, Bopat was named Director of Cricket for London Spirit in The Hundred.
However, he will continue his duties with RCB. With his appointment, London Spirit began preparations for the next season as the tournament is going through the transformation.
Like the other seven teams, London Spirit now operates under a joint ownership model—MCC controlling the majority share at 51% and US-based Tech Titans holding the remaining 49%. However, the London Spirit name will remain for now, but fans can expect a new identity in early 2026.

Bobat stated, "It's an honor to join London Spirit at such an exciting time. The opportunity to shape the cricketing future of this franchise, working with MCC and our new partners, the Tech Titans, is incredibly exciting. I'm looking forward to building something special—on and off the field.”
