Former Zimbabwe cricket team captain Andy Flower has no plans of throwing his hat in the ring for the India coach’s job.
Flower, who is head coach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) side Royal Challengers Bengaluru confirmed after his team’s exit from the IPL play-offs.
“I haven’t applied. I won’t be applying. I am happy with my involvement in the franchise game at the moment,” the 56-year Flower said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Flower, who was a successful red-ball coach for England.
In addition to his famous three Ashes series victories against Australia, Flower also guided England to a Test series win in India back in 2012.
Since leaving his England job, Flower has featured extensively in coaching roles across different franchise T20 leagues around the world.
Prior to his move to Royal Challengers Bengaluru Flower had earlier coached Lucknow Super Giants and is also part of various other franchises across the globe.
He said 10 months a year for a national team isn’t something that he is considering at this point.
“It’s fascinating stuff and I’m working with some amazing organisations so I’m really happy with that at the moment,” he said.
