Read our privacy policy Head coach Jon Lewis wants England to rediscover their “fearless” Ashes approach on the upcoming tour to South Africa and is expecting “a real response” to their disappointing T20 World Cup exit. That consigned England to a frustrating early exit, having gone into the game on the back of three successive wins in Group B. England’s attention now switches to their tour of South Africa, starting with a T20 match on November 24, and Lewis hopes his side can rediscover some of last summer’s form which saw them come from behind to draw a gripping multi-format Ashes series against Australia. Then moving the team forward, we’ll look to see how we go when we get to South Africa.” Broadcaster Alex Hartley, a member of England’s 2017 World Cup-winning side, was one of the critics in the aftermath of the team’s T20 World Cup display and suggested they needed to improve their fitness – something Lewis disagrees with. On top of that they’re improving physically across the board.” Earlier this month England named three teams for the South Africa trip, which consists of three T20s, three one-day internationals and a Test match.
