Heather Knight is stepping down as captain of the England women's cricket team after nine years as part of an overhaul following poor results.

Heather Knight will be available for selection in all formats. The decision comes a day after ECB removed women's team head coach Jon Lewis.

England have sacked head coach Jon Lewis following a shambolic Ashes series in which they suffered a 16-0 clean sweep against Australia. Lewis, who was appointed in November 2022, has been removed after a review of the tour led by England director of women's cricket Clare Connor.
