Charlotte Edwards becomes head coach of England women`s cricket team, succeeding Jon Lewis after a disappointing Ashes series.

Charlotte Edwards has been appointed as the head coach of the England women`s cricket team, effective April 1, 2025. She replaces Jon Lewis after a disappointing Ashes series in Australia, where England suffered a clean sweep, losing all seven matches. Edwards, a former England captain, brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously led the Mumbai Indians to victory in the Women’s Premier League and the Southern Brave in The Hundred.

Her first challenge will be a match against the West Indies on May 21 at Canterbury. Meanwhile, England is monitoring the recovery of key players, including Ben Stokes, who is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Brydon Carse, who is dealing with a foot issue. Both players are essential for England`s upcoming Test series against India starting in June.

In other news, James Anderson, England`s all-time leading wicket-taker, has expressed his desire to continue playing cricket for another three years, despite his recent retirement from international cricket. As the County Championship season approaches, Anderson is expected to miss the early matches due to injury, adding further pressure on the team as they prepare for a busy schedule ahead.
