Andy Flower Ends 12-Year Association With ECB

Andy guided England to Ashes victory in 2010-11, held in Australia. Under his tutelage, England became the No. 1 Test team in the World in 2011

Former England head coach Andy Flower has decided to end his association with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after serving for 12 long years in different roles. He was first appointed as an assistant coach to Peter Moores in 2007 and gradually rose up the ranks to become the head coach in 2009. Before entering into the England Lions set up in 2014, Andy guided the senior English men’s team to Ashes victory in 2010-11, held in Australia. Under his tutelage, England became the No. 1 Test team in the World in 2011. The former Zimbabwe skipper described England's Test series win in India as a ‘special victory’. While the above two achievements were in game's longest format, Flower rates England 2010 T20 World Cup triumph as another big achievement. “The Ashes victory in 2010-11 stands out,” he said. “It's difficult to win in Australia and to do it so comprehensively was a really proud moment in my coaching career. It was wonderful to watch those young men take on that challenge successfully and have a great time doing it. “The win in India in 2012-13 was a highlight too, to overcome some great players in tough spinning conditions was a special victory. So was the T20 World Cup win in 2010. The way we played our cricket, with such freedom and aggression, really was fun to be part of,” he added. Andy also wished England's new coach Chris Silverwood and performance director Mo Bobat best of luck as they are set to begin a new journey. “I'm really happy for Chris that he's getting the chance to lead England and I think he's going to do a great job. I also want to wish Mo Bobat, the new performance director, all the best in his new role," said the outgoing coach,” he said.
