Charlotte Edwards Named England Women's Cricket Coach

Charlotte Edwards has been appointed as the head coach of the England women's cricket team, following the dismissal of Jon Lewis after a disappointing Ashes series and T20 World Cup performance. Edwards, a former England captain with a decorated playing and coaching career, aims to improve the team's fitness and accountability and is optimistic about their prospects for the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup in India. She plans to announce a new captain soon, with Nat Sciver-Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Amy Jones, Kate Cross, and Charlie Dean as potential candidates. Edwards is enthusiastic about leading the team through upcoming challenges, including home series, the World Cup, and the potential inclusion of women's cricket in the 2028 Olympics. Her extensive coaching experience includes successes with Southern Vipers, Southern Brave, and the Mumbai Indians. Edwards is committed to restoring the team's performance and legacy.
