The England Cricket Board (ECB) is set to offer coach Andy Flower a new three-year contract in the face of interest from India, who are seeking to replace former coach Gary Kirsten. Flower has masterminded England’s World Twenty20 title victory as well as two Ashes series wins.
However, there are questions marks over his future, with persistent suggestions that he was frustrated by a gruelling winter schedule. Flower is currently on a rolling staff contract which offers the same protection rights as any other full-time employee. There is speculation that he may be offered a fixed-term, three-year deal that could include clauses to protect the ECB from losing him to a third party.
