Former UP Warriorz head coach Jon Lewis has said that owner preferences meant he wasn’t always in complete control of selection decisions in the WPL. Currently leading London Spirit Women in The Hundred, Lewis spent three seasons with UP Warriorz, starting from the inaugural season of the WPL in 2023. Having left the role in 2025, Lewis looked back at his time in the WPL and the challenges of being a head coach in franchise cricket on Wisden Women's Cricket Weekly podcast. "In the WPL I've had different experience where the owners are closer to the team and sometimes to the selection of the team, to the point where as a head coach you're not always totally in control of the decisions that are being made,” he said.
