Edwards, the former captain of England turned into a decorated coach, has not ruled out of assuming the role of the chief coach if available after the review, saying in an interview this week that he felt better equipped than two years already two years . -Alval years ago, just before Jon Lewis replaced Lisa Keightley to the helm. But she was even stronger by providing support to the investigation of the ECB.
“I am certainly more prepared due to some of the experiences I have had in recent years,” Edwards told the BBC podcast stumped. “I just want to help at this time because I feel that this review is taking place and I think they have to ask people within the game what they think. I have a great experience through the level of the county, working on the WBBL, which we hope Someone lift the phone and ask what we have to do to improve.
“That’s all that matters to me right now. I don’t care who trains the team, who captains the team. I just want the English cryket to return to where it should be. And I think we have to use people who know what is happening To help and I feel that I am in a position to help and hopefully support the ECB in that process. “
Edwards would be an outstanding candidate as Chief of Women in England if the paper was vacant, it gave an outstanding success in the best leagues of the world franchise and domestic level.
At initially he said that she was interested in taking England’s work in September 2022, Edwards decided not Sixers, as well as leading Southern Vipers in the competition of domestic women, which included a T20 competition named in his honor.
Edwards has led Southern Vipers to five titles, including two victories of the Charlotte Edwards Cup, the second as part of a domestic double in 2023, and Southern Brave to three finals of the hundred women, winning the 2023 edition. He also took Sydney Sixers to the WBBL final in its first season in charge in 2022-23.
During that time, his franchise training portfolio expanded to include the Mumbai Indians, who are about to begin their campaign for a second title in three years under their guide, having won the inaugural WPL trophy. She has also been appointed chief coach of Hampshire Women under the new domestic structure in England and Wales from this season.
Edwards said he observed a large part of the female ashes, where England was beaten by more than 50 races in three white ball games and by an entry into the test, with a feeling of “true disappointment.”
“Hopefully this is a moment, a line of line in the spider, so that the team and so that the ECB see where we are going with the female game because many good things happen and I think that is what makes it sad for someone involved In the system, “Edwards said. “There are many good things that happen within the counties and the regional structure and it has not necessarily portrayed with the England team, so it is a concern, I suppose, and something that must be seen.”
Lewis described the departure of the Group stage of England from the World Cup T20 in October as a “line of line in the sand” and its position has increased greater pressure after that performance, in particular the shocking field exhibition of England against The Western Indies, which hit them outside the tournament.
During the ashes, there were few signs of improvement in the country rain. It affected the second T20I, which lost for six races in the DLS method.
From the World Cup T20, England’s physical condition has also been scrutiny after the commentator and former Spinner Alex Hartley said that a handful of players “disappointed the team” with their physical condition levels.
While Lewis has remained firm in his defense of England’s work in training, even suggesting that Australia’s outdoor lifestyle gave them an advantage in athlete production, Edwards said there was a lot of land to match Australia physically.
“I think that if you make a comparison, they are more athletic and they are more in shape and that is what we must aspire now,” Edwards said. “That is part of our work at the county level is now to support these players so that they are more in form, to be more athletic so that we can compete with Australia, so there are not those question signs when we play them because that was The most difficult, wasn’t it?
“I think we can change this. I don’t think it’s a gap as big as people what results. We have a lot a true positivity. “
The ECB review is expected to publish its recommendations in the coming weeks.
