    Heather Knight Steps Down As England Captain After Head Coach Jon Lewis Departure

    By IANS News March 22, 2025 • 15:56 PM View: 832
    Deputy Chief Executive Officer: Heather Knight has stepped down as England women's team captain after nearly nine years, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Saturday. The development comes a day after head coach Jon Lewis' departure following their 16-0 drubbing against Australia in the Ashes series. Knight will continue to be available for selection.

    Knight has captained England 199 times since 2016, including leading the team to a home World Cup victory in 2017 and to two other ICC tournament finals. She oversaw 134 victories as England women captain, second on the list of England women’s all-time most successful captains.

    She also led the team to a record-breaking run of eight consecutive ODI series wins including defeating Australia during the 2023 home Ashes, in which England also won the T20I series to draw a thrilling women’s Ashes that took interest in international women’s cricket to a new level.
