England Women head coach Jon Lewis has announced his decision to step down from the role on Friday, March 21. The 49-year-old has coached the side 73 sides across all international formats, and managed to secure 52 wins.

However, England Women's latest series ended in pure embarrassment, as they were humbled by Australia Women in Women's Ashes 2025. It was a 'walk in the park' for Australia Women, as the hosts thumped England Women 7-0 across 3 ODI's, 3 T20I's, and a One-off Test.

Jon Lewis, who took over the reigns of the side in November 2022, failed to inspire them to a single ICC trophy in the next 28 months, with England crashing out of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 in the group stage.

England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are yet to name Jon Lewis' replacement, but have ample of time to announce one, as England Women are not playing any competitive fixture before May 21, when they host West Indies Women for 3 T20I's & 3 ODI's, followed by home series against India Women in June & July 2025, which will consist of 5 T20I's and 3 ODI's.
