Charlotte Edwards Appointed England Women's Cricket Head Coach

Charlotte Edwards has been appointed as the new head coach of the England women's cricket team, taking over from Jon Lewis following a disappointing performance in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and a series loss in the Women's Ashes. Edwards, a former captain with over 300 international matches to her name, emphasized her excitement and commitment to leading the team towards future successes, including the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup in India. ECB Deputy CEO Clare Connor endorsed her appointment, citing her extensive experience and proven track record as a player and coach. Edwards expressed her passion for the team, stating, 'It means the world to me to have the three lions on my chest once again.' Her first match in charge is set for May 21 against the West Indies. The ECB is also expected to announce a new captain for the team soon.
