ENGLAND’S 16-0 Women’s Ashes whitewash at the hands of Australia will be the subject of a thorough review addressing “all areas of accountability,” the ECB’s managing director of women’s cricket Clare Connor has said.

Australia completed victory by an innings and 122 runs in the one-off day/night Test in Melbourne on Saturday to underline their dominance in a series that also included three ODIs and three T20s.

The result has put huge pressure on captain Heather Knight and coach Jon Lewis, but Connor said there would be time taken to reflect on a “brutal” series before any major decisions are made on how the team goes forward.
