Heather Knight follows Jon Lewis out of England door in wake of Ashes rout
Briefly

Heather Knight has announced her resignation as England women's cricket captain after nearly nine years, during which she led the team in 199 matches and secured a World Cup victory in 2017. This decision follows the dismissal of head coach Jon Lewis after a disappointing Ashes series. Knight expressed pride in her leadership role but acknowledged the need for a change, stating her intention to focus on her performance as a player while supporting the team's new captain. Her departure marks a significant shift in England's women's cricket leadership.
Captaining my country for the last nine years has been the biggest honour of my life and I will look back on my tenure with an enormous sense of pride.
Winning the ICC Women's World Cup on home turf at Lord's in 2017 will always be a huge highlight, but being a part of the huge steps forward made in the women's game off the pitch brings me just as much pride.
