Andy Flower on Indian Head Coach: Amid IPL 2024, the BCCI is rapidly looking for the next head coach for the Indian team. In this sequence, the names of many veterans like Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh, Stephen Fleming, Justin Langer are coming to the fore, who are considered contenders to become the next head coach of the Indian team. However, amid this search of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting had revealed that he too had received an offer from the BCCI to become the coach, which he turned down.

After Ricky Ponting, now the name of another veteran Andy Flower is coming forward. Andy Flower's name was also being discussed for the post of Indian head coach but Flower himself has not shown any interest in becoming the head coach of the Indian team.

I will not apply – Andy Flower

Andy Flower, who was the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2024, said in the press conference after the team's defeat in the eliminator match, 'I have not applied for the post of head coach of India and I will not apply for it. I am happy with my participation in the league at the moment and I am really enjoying it. It's such a fascinating job and I've worked with some amazing organisations. I am happy with my work right now.

Andy Flower has extensive coaching experience. He has also been the head coach of the England team. He took over the post of head coach of the England team in 2012. It was under his coaching that England came to India and won the Test series.

Even before IPL 2024, RCB announced the new head coach and handed over this responsibility to Andy Flower. After he became the coach, RCB performed brilliantly in IPL 2024. After lagging behind in the initial phase of the league, RCB won 7 consecutive matches and made it to the playoffs. However, the team had to face defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator match. With the defeat in this match, RCB's journey in IPL 2024 came to an end.
