He was brought up inSwindon where he was educated atChurchfields School andSwindon College. He played for Swindon CC and, inMinor Counties cricket, forWiltshire County Cricket Club in 1993. He joinedNorthamptonshire in 1994 and played for its Second XI but returned to Wiltshire in 1995. In the same year, he joinedGloucestershire and made hisfirst-class debut. He was appointed Gloucestershire captain in 2006.
In 2005, Lewis was included in theEngland squad for the twoTests againstBangladesh, but did not play in either match. He did, however, make his first international appearance in theTwenty20 game againstAustralia in June, and took 4–24 in his four overs as England recorded a crushing 100-run victory. He made hisOne Day International debut a few days later in England's win against Bangladesh atThe Oval, again impressing with 3–32 from ten overs. He was included in the 13-man squad for the home series againstSri Lanka in 2006,[1] making his Test debut atTrent Bridge on 2 June 2006 and taking a wicket with his fourth delivery (and third legitimate ball) in Test cricket. He is the 634th player to represent England at Test cricket.
He was selected in a number of Test squads during the summer of 2006, but only played in one Test against Sri Lanka, coming to be regarded as something of a perennial12th man. He did however bowl well in the ODIs against Pakistan, having finally been given an extended run in the side. Lewis was selected in England's 15-man squad for theCricket World Cup 2007, which was held in the Caribbean. His last appearance for England occurred in the 2007 limited-overs series against India.[2]
On 29 July 2011, it was announced that after 16 years with Gloucestershire, Lewis was to joinSurrey on a two-year deal. Lewis left Surrey at the end of the 2013 season to joinSussex on a one-year contract ahead of the 2014 season.[3] On 28 November 2014, Lewis announced his retirement from the professional game to become bowling coach at Sussex.[4]
In 2015, he was appointed as assistant head coach at Sussex County Cricket Club. In 2016, Lewis started as the head coach for England Young Lions. In March 2021, he was appointed as England Fast Bowling Coach, working with the likes of Jofra Archer, Mark Wood and Ben Stokes.
In 2022, Lewis was appointed as head coach of England Women's Cricket.[5] Lewis and his new team played their 1st international series in the West Indies in December 2022.[6] He was sacked by England Women in March 2025, after a run of poor results including an Ashes whitewash earlier that year.[7]
