Ashe

Knight was sacked in March as a result of a review into the humiliating 16-0 Ashes defeat earlier in the year.

He scored 103 runs and took five wickets in the drawn 2023 Ashes and by the end of the series had lost his place to Mitchell Marsh.

Ashes covered a guest book opened to a page with its last signature dated Jan. 6.

While she will need buy-in from all the players and a vision for success, a 16-0 Ashes defeat in Australia should be enough motivation and I'm sure this will be a turning point.

England's priorities this year are Test series against India in the summer and the Ashes in Australia in the winter.
