Jon Lewis Removed as England Women's Cricket Coach After Ashes Whitewash

The ECB seeks new leadership following a 16-0 Ashes defeat, with Charlotte Edwards emerging as a potential candidate.

  • Jon Lewis was removed as head coach of the England women's cricket team after a 16-0 defeat to Australia in the 2025 Ashes series.
  • The ECB conducted a performance review that highlighted failures in major tournaments, including the 2024 T20 World Cup and the recent Ashes loss.
  • Lewis's tenure, beginning in November 2022, saw successes such as a drawn Ashes series in 2023 and eight consecutive ODI series wins but lacked tournament victories.
  • Charlotte Edwards, a former England captain with an impressive coaching reputation, is reportedly a leading candidate to succeed Lewis.
  • England's next matches are a T20 series against the West Indies starting May 21, 2025, as the team prepares for two World Cups in the next 15 months.
