UP Warriorz, Coach Jon Lewis Part Ways After 3 Years

UP Warriorz have parted ways with head coach Jon Lewis after three years, a tenure that began with the Women's Premier League's inaugural season in 2023. Lewis led the team to the playoffs in their first season, a fourth-place finish in 2024, and a last-place result in 2025 amid injuries and leadership changes. Over 25 matches, Warriorz secured nine wins and set the league's highest team total under his guidance. Lewis's departure is part of a broader restructuring as the franchise seeks a fresh start for the 2026 WPL season. He also stepped down as England women's head coach earlier in 2025, following a difficult Ashes series and a group-stage exit at the T20 World Cup. Both UP Warriorz and England women's teams have since appointed new head coaches.
