England is looking for a new coach for its women’s national cricket team after Jon Lewis left his post Friday following poor results at the T20 World Cup and in the Ashes series. Lewis had been in the job since 2022 and oversaw a drawn Ashes series at home in 2023,

But England also suffered their first series defeat to Sri Lanka in the home T20s during his tenure in 2023, exposing a weakness batting against spin which Lewis tried to address with training camps in India and the Middle East in the lead up to last year's T20 World Cup, where a rash of fielding errors saw them knocked out by West Indies.

Jon Lewis has been axed as head coach of England Women, paying the price for his team’s abject Ashes whitewash. Lewis’ position has been hanging by a thread ever since his side were thrashed 16-0 in their multi-format series Down Under at the start of the year.
