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.
