Jon Lewis Resigns As UP Warriorz Head Coach After Poor WPL Season
Last Updated: Jon Lewis resigned as UP Warriorz head coach in the Women's Premier League after finishing last in 2025. Charlotte Edwards replaces him as England women's head coach. Just months after his departure from the England women's team, Jon Lewis has stepped down as head coach of UP Warriorz (UPW) in the Women's Premier League (WPL). Lewis had helmed the team since the league's inception in 2023, guiding them to the playoffs that season before they were defeated by the eventual champions, Mumbai Indians. However, in the 2024 season, UP Warriorz fell short of the playoffs, finishing fourth in the points table. In WPL 2025, UP Warriorz, captained by India's off-spin bowling all-rounder Deepti Sharma due to regular skipper Alyssa Healy's knee injury, ended at the bottom of the points table. '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," the franchise expressed on its social media accounts on Friday. Lewis who had represented England in one Test, 13 One-Days, and two T-Twenties, had previously resigned from his role as head coach of the women's team following a dismal 16-0 women's Ashes defeat in Australia, which came after their group-stage exit in the Women's T20 World Cup last October. The position of England women's head coach, formerly occupied by Lewis, has now been assumed by Charlotte Edwards, who led Mumbai Indians to their second WPL title earlier this year before her departure from the franchise. The future of Lisa Sthalekar, the former Australia cricketer, as mentor for UP Warriorz remains uncertain, while Anju Jain, the former India player who subsequently coached Bangladesh, has not been with the franchise since last year. Consequently, both Mumbai Indians and UP Warriorz will be in search of a new head coach ahead of WPL 2026. With IANS Inputs First Published: June 27, 2025, 15:59 IST
