Heather Knight has left her role as England captain after almost nine years.

The 34-year-old skippered England 199 times since 2016 and guided the team to World Cup glory in 2017 alongside two other finals.

The news comes 24 hours after Jon Lewis was axed as head coach following their recent 16-0 multi-format Ashes series defeat.
