As per the reports from The i Paper on Sunday, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is keen to recruit Andy Flower after sacking Brendon McCullum as Test coach. But the Zimbabwean is not happy to leave the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) role, as he won back-to-back IPL wins with the side and other franchise team roles.
However, he does not want to cut ties with RCB in the IPL or London Spirit in The Hundred. This is why ECB chief executive Richard Gould revealed on Sunday that the governing body is willing to be flexible and enable any new coach to continue working in franchise cricket while coaching England. But the former Zimbabwe captain has not completely ruled himself out.
ECB facing obstacles to appoint Andy Flower as new Test head coach
Flower, who earns more than £500,000 per year for three months' work across both franchise RCB and London Spirit, who are sister franchises in different tournaments. He would be unable to step down as London Spirit coach this summer to take over the Test team as the Hundred begins just three days before the start of England’s first Test against Pakistan at Headingley.
Why can't Andy Flower and Brendon McCullum work together?
The key problem will be the working relationship with Rob Key, who has survived as director of cricket, and McCullum, who remains the head coach of the white-ball side. As McCullum and Andy Flower have very different coaching styles, with the latter paying meticulous attention to detail and demanding that everything be exactly right.
