Head Coach Jon Lewis

England have sacked Head Coach Jon Lewis following a shambolic Ashes series in which they suffered a 16-0 clean sweep against Australia.

Lewis, who was appointed in November 2022, has been removed after a review of the tour led by England Women’s Cricket Director Clare Connor.

The former England seamer met with Connor and high-performance manager Jonathan Finch last week.

Lewis becomes the first casualty of the humiliating tour of Australia, which was the first time either side has lost every match in an Ashes series since the multi-format points system was introduced in 2013.

That demolition came at the end of a winter where England suffered a calamitous early exit at the T20 World Cup.

A string of dropped catches cost them dearly in a defeat by West Indies, resulting in elimination at the group stage.

Following the Ashes, 49-year-old Lewis stated his desire to remain as Head Coach while Captain Heather Knight said she would take some time to decide her future.

It is possible that Knight remains as skipper under a new coach.
