England Appoints Charlotte Edwards As Head Coach

Share

England have appointed legendary former captain Charlotte Edwards as their new head coach.

The 45-year-old, England's all-time leading run-scorer, replaces Jon Lewis, who was sacked in March after the 16-0 Ashes hammering in Australia.

Edwards played more than 300 times for England in a 19-year career, including in excess of 200 games as captain.

In a 10-year spell in charge, Edwards won three Ashes series and both the 50-over and 20-over World Cups in 2009.

She was surprisingly sacked in 2016 and replaced by Heather Knight, who then enjoyed her own nine-year reign.

Knight was also sacked in the aftermath of the Ashes debacle but will remain as a player, now under coach Edwards.
