Former England skipper Charlotte Edwards has been named as the head coach of Sydney Sixers in the WBBL as the club looks to turn around three seasons of poor results.
Edwards has been the assistant coach for Adelaide Strikers for five seasons now. She will be replacing Ben Sawyer as the head coach of the Sydney Sixers WBBL team.
“I’m extremely excited to be offered the role with the Sixers who are one of the most successful women’s domestic teams in the world,” Edwards said. “The vision for the Sixers is to bring back trophies for the club.
“More importantly is the way we do that, and I think the way we do that is to play a really exciting and entertaining style of cricket that hopefully the fans are proud of and want to come and watch. That means a lot to me and the group.”
Sydney Sixers had three back to back poor seasons. The last season was even worse as they ended at the last position.
