Keightley to step down as England women’s coach

London, Aug 9: Lisa Keightley will step down from her role as England women’s team head coach after the end of the summer following a mutual decision not to extend her contract, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed on Tuesday.
Keightley has been in the role since January 2020, taking the team to the semi-final of the 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup and the final of the 2022 ICC Women’s World Cup. England will now begin recruiting for a new coach just over six months out from the 2023 T20 World Cup in South Africa. Keightley’s last assignment with the English side will be the white-ball home series against India, starting September 10. (IANS)
