ICC T20 World Cup: Former England coach Jon Lewis has been appointed as the new head coach of London Spirit in The Hundred Women’s competition. He takes over from Chris Liddle, who previously posted on Instagram to thank players and staff for ‘four unforgettable years’.

Lewis will work closely with London Spirit women’s General Manager, veteran England batter Heather Knight, on staff appointments and squad composition ahead of the player auction in March.

“This is a really exciting opportunity to play a part in shaping the future of this franchise. I am looking forward to building a team packed with talent and character, playing cricket that Spirit fans coming to Lord’s will get behind as we aim to win a second title this summer.
