Discipline, Not Fitness, Behind England Women's Ashes Struggles, Says Head Coach Lewis
T20 World Cup: England Women’s head coach Jon Lewis has dismissed claims that fitness issues are to blame for his team’s underwhelming performance in the Women’s Ashes, pointing instead to Australia’s superior discipline and skill level in critical moments.
England trail 10-0 in points in the multi-format series after losing all three ODIs and the first two T20Is, with only the final T20I in Adelaide and the one-off day-night Test in Melbourne remaining. While the result has reignited fitness debates, Lewis insists the key differences lie elsewhere.
The fitness of England’s players has been a topic of discussion since their early exit in the T20 World Cup last October. Former England spinner Alex Hartley criticised the team's conditioning at the time, but Lewis firmly rejected these claims, both then and now.
