Atherton Backs Andy Flower For England's Next White-ball Coach
Sky Sports Cricket Podcast: Former England captain Michael Atherton believes Andy Flower will be ‘the outstanding candidate’ to become head coach of the men’s white-ball team post Matthew Mott’s departure from the role.
Flower had worked as England’s head coach from 2009 to 2014, where the side had three Ashes series wins and their first Men’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2010. Since then, Flower has made a himself as a coach who’s won various T20 franchise leagues, and even coached Royal Challengers Bengaluru to IPL 2024 playoffs.
Atherton mentioned Flower’s name while talking about who are the possible contenders to be England’s next white-ball coach. "Kumar Sangakkara is near the top of the list. He has worked with Jos (Buttler) of course at the Rajasthan Royals (in the IPL). There's Eoin Morgan, and although he seemed to rule himself out the other day on commentary, I've got no doubt his name will be floated around."
