Mick Lewis to leave Essex

 

Men’s Bowling Coach Mick Lewis is to leave Essex after three seasons to take up a role at Yorkshire.

Lewis, 50, joined the Eagles ahead of the 2022 campaign and formed a part of a coaching team that oversaw three top-four finishes in the County Championship and a run to Vitality Blast Finals Day.

He oversaw the continued development of established first-team players Jamie Porter and Sam Cook, among others, alongside helping to bring through new prospects such as Jamal Richards.

Former Australian international Lewis will officially depart for Headingley, once again linking up with former Essex Director of Cricket, Anthony McGrath, at the end of February.

“It was a tough decision to leave Essex, given the three great years that I spent on the coaching staff here,” said Lewis.

“Although I’m moving on, I really feel that the bowlers will continue to go from strength to strength, and the unit as a whole has been left in a good place.

“I really enjoyed my time in Chelmsford, and I wish everyone associated with the Club all the best for the future.”
