Charlotte Edwards has been appointed coach for the women’s cricket team.
The former England leader John Louis, who was dismissed in the aftermath of the ashes 16-0 in Australia during the winter season, where tourists lost all seven matches on a hanging tour.
Edwards led England to the Fiftieth World Cup 2009 and T20 World Cup, while she also won three series of ash in a 10 -year talisman as a leader between 2006 and 2016.
The 45 -year -old has flourished since then as a coach, and has won the Premier League with the Mumbai Indians in 2023 and 2025 and a hundred with courage south two years ago.
Edwards has now led the southern snakes that are now collapsed to three titles of Rachel Hehyu Flint Cup and two in the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with the last T20 championship named after her career, in which she scored more than 10,000 international race.
She was appointed as a major coach in Hampsheer in the new women’s local boycott group, but she will leave this position now.
England also needs a new captain with Heather Knight – who succeeded Edwards as a leader in 2016 and continued to win the 50th World Cup at home after a year – was removed from the job in the aftermath of ash.
Edwards enjoys the possibility of winning the prizes.
Edwards, who will take place for the first match responsible for England against the West Indies in Canterbury on May 21, said: “I am happy to be again part of the team’s leadership,” Edwards, who will be played by the first match responsible for England against the West Indies in Canterbury on May 21.
“I can’t wait to take this team forward and push us to success. This means that the world for me is that I have the three lions on my chest again.
“The leadership of England as a leader was my life for 10 years, and I will be enthusiastic about this team and our inheritance forever. We have a talented group of players, and I am excited to work with them and improve them as individuals and team.
“We have the immediate challenge of two summer series for the home, then directly in the Women’s World Cup in India in India this fall, with the Women’s World Cup in homes next summer.
“There is also a common possibility for the first time in the women’s cricket game in Los Angeles 2028. I am enjoying the possibility of winning the prizes and this team is coming forward.”
Charlotte was the distinguished candidate “
“When we set the criteria, it became clear that Charlotte was the distinguished candidate,” said Claire Connor, Managing Director of the European Central Bank of Cricket.
“It has experience, passion and experience to lead this team to success.
“She has achieved the results she achieved as a major coach in multiple environments since her retirement as one of the greatest players of England ever, a testimony of her leadership that is uncompromising and the criteria that she determines for those around her.
“She is a proven winner; she has repeatedly won as a player and now as a coach.
“It has a deep knowledge of the game, whether in England or all over the world, and it understands the importance of creating a difficult and supportive environment.”
Who will succeed Knight as the leader of England?
The potential alternatives to Knight-Vice Commander Nat-BRUNT, Charlie Dean, the founder, who was working under Edwards in Fifers-Rannari left Sophie Exston.
England A is currently touring Australia with the former Grace Scripns Captain in U19, where the T20 and Durham Skipper Hollie Armitage group responsible for the Fiftieth Party, so these two players can be outside the candidates behind Knight.
The Upper England team plays six matches in white football (three ODis, three T20s) at home to the West Islands from May 21, followed by five T20s and three Odis against India in June and July.
They will then travel to India in the fall of the Fiftieth World Cup-a championship that finished second in Australia during the 2022 version in New Zealand.
England hosts the 2026 Women’s World Women’s Cup and will look forward to winning this event for the first time since the opening version in 2009, after losing to Australia in the 2012, 2014 and 2018 finals.
The results of England in the previous T20 World Cup contributed to the dismissal of Louis with the side that was eliminated in the semi -finals by the South African hosts in 2023 and then was disposed of in the group stage in the United Arab Emirates in 2024 after the defeat of the West Indies.
The second loss came when the team put a rough field show under the supervision of Sciver-Grount, as it dropped five fishing, while Knight was out of the field with the case of the hard leg it was carrying at the beating.
Ash results: How was England modest
What is wrong with England in ash?
Sky Sports’ David Ruse:
The ash campaign in England was limited by errors, with an inability to bathe against rotation, regular errors in the field, words and strange behavior.
Premier Sophie Sophie Ecclestone refused to conduct an interview with her former colleague Alex Hartley after the latter interrogated England’s fitness in the wake of the T20 World Cup exit months ago.
In addition, coach Lewis suggested that tourists did not coincide with Australia sportingly to “cultural differences”, saying that their opponents have benefited from an outdoor lifestyle.
The players also insisted that England was not far from this superior Australian aspect, but the results told a different story and Edwards will not only need to achieve results, but will also support public support.
Seamer Kate Cross said that Ashes Tostoncing may have lost England fans, and the rebuilding process with the T20 series at home to the West Indies from May 21st will begin, Sky Sports.
Edwards has rates to convert England’s wealth and dominant summer against the West Indies, and India will be the beginning, although the acid test will come in the World Cup in the Indian subcontinent later in the year.
England has rented a winner, and the team must now become a winner again – and truly test the tyrant from Australia.
They have not won the World Cup (50 or T20) since 2017 and their last victory returned in 2014.
