Women's Premier League franchise UP Warriorz part ways with coach Jon Lewis
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 27 (ANI): UP Warriorz parted ways with their head coach Jon Lewis following a three-year-association in the Women's Premier League (WPL).
Lewis had a fine start to his run with the franchise, taking them to the playoffs during the inaugural WPL season in 2023, but lost to the Mumbai Indians (MI). In 2024, they finished second-last, with three wins in eight games. In the latest season, the team had to deal with skipper Alyssa Healy injured and Deepti Sharma captaining the side.
Warriorz finished at the bottom of the tournament this year, with three wins in eight games, as per ESPNCricinfo.
Giving him a farewell, Warriorz posted on their official Instagram, 'From day one, you believed in us. Through the highs, the learnings, and everything in between -- Thank You, Coach Jon Lewis, for leading with heart, calm, and belief. You'll always be a part of the Warriorz Family.'

Overall, under Lewis, the team managed to win nine out of 25 matches. They also hold the record for the highest total in WPL: 225 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) earlier this year, with Aussie youngster Georgia Voll (99* in 56 balls) shining with the bat.
Lewis was performing dual roles, as he had been England's head coach for the women's team since November 2022. But he stepped down from the spot after Australia won the women's Ashes by a clean sweep of 16 points to nil.
Before being a coach, Lewis was a massive feature of English cricket for two decades and was a consistent wicket-taker for Gloucestershire, in the main, and Surrey and Sussex, where he ended his career in 2014
Prior to becoming a prominent coach, Lewis played top-flight cricket in England for close to two decades, and was a consistent wicket-taker for Gloucestershire, in the main, and Surrey and Sussex, where he ended his career in 2014. He also turned out in a Test, 13 ODIs and two T20Is. He took 849 scalps in 251 matches in first-class cricket and 25 scalps in international cricket. (ANI)

From Virat Kohli's 149 To Rishabh Pant's 146: Top 5 Indian Batting Masterclasses At Edgbaston
photoDetails english 2923508 Updated:Jun 28, 2025, 02:28 PM IST Virat Kohli – 149 (2018) 1 / 7 Kohli's epic 149 in the 1st Test of 2018 stood out as a masterclass under pressure. Coming in at 54/2, he braved a swing from Anderson and Curran to rescue India, steering the lower order late on. His innings spanned 225 balls and kept India within 13 runs of England after the first innings. Rishabh Pant – 146 (2022) 2 / 7 Pant's electrifying 146 off just 111 balls during the rescheduled 5th Test in 2022 was a game-changing knock. Coming in at 98/5, he unleashed a counter-attacking barrage, including a record-breaking ton off 89 balls, propelling India to a commanding position. Sachin Tendulkar – 122 (1996) 3 / 7 Tendulkar's 122 in 1996 marked the first Test century by an Indian at Edgbaston. Battling a strong bowling attack, he struck 19 boundaries and a six, cementing his legacy in English conditions. Ravindra Jadeja – 104 (2022) 4 / 7 Jadeja complemented Pant wonderfully with a composed 83* in 2022, and in the same match, he notched a century, scoring 104 at Edgbaston, reinforcing his value as a genuine all-rounder and toning up India's recovery effort. Mohinder Amarnath – 79 (1986) 5 / 7 While not a century, Amarnath's gritty 79 in 1986 showcased classic technique against swinging conditions, earning him the fifth spot in this list. Though less documented online, it remains a celebrated performance among Indian cricket historians. Jadeja & Pant Again At Edgbaston 6 / 7 Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant will again present at the Edgbaston test against England, and the team will rely on their experience at this venue for their maiden victory at the venue. 7 / 7
