In a shocking shake-up, England faces a major leadership overhaul. Heather Knight steps down as captain after an eight-year tenure, while head coach Jon Lewis is dismissed following England’s disastrous 16-0 Ashes loss and a disappointing T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.

What went wrong for England? Was this purely a coaching failure, or are there deeper structural issues? Rosa joins us as we analyze Knight’s legacy, the ECB’s wide-ranging review, and what’s next for England Women’s cricket.

With potential coaching candidates like Charlotte Edwards and a new captain on the horizon, we discuss the road ahead for the team.

Tune in for a deep dive into England’s struggles, leadership transition, and the impact of these changes on the future of women’s cricket.
