    Two of the main contenders for the newly appointed England Women's coach were Jon Lewis (former Gloucester, Surrey and Sussex bowler and England Young Lions Head Coach) and Jon Lewis (former Essex and Durham bowler and Bangladesh batting coach). Jon Lewis actually got the job. The former one that is.
