Wales Cricket Board: England and Wales Cricket Board (WCB) has appointed Chris Liddle as the performance pace-bowling coach of the England women’s team. Liddle arrives from Northamptonshire where he was assistant head coach and lead fast bowling coach. His first assignment with the England team will be on the tour of India next month.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to Northamptonshire. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club and working with the players and all the backroom staff. It’s been great to see and support the development of individuals over the years and the success of the team along the way, especially with the improvements in the bowling attack's wicket-taking ability in T20 cricket. I’d like to wish ‘Sads’ (John Sadler) and the team the very best.”

“It’s an incredibly exciting time to be joining England Women and I’m really looking forward to getting started. The demand for the fast bowlers has increased over the years and I want to be able to provide them with the skills required to grow and develop to be successful over a long period of time,” said Liddle in a statement issued by the ECB.
