Flower reveals talks over India coach job
Saturday, 7 May 2011
LONDON, May 6 (AFP): Andy Flower revealed Thursday he had had been in discussions about the possibility of succeeding Gary Kirsten as coach of India before committing his future to England.
Former England boss, and Flower's fellow Zimbabwean, Duncan Fletcher was appointed to take over from former South Africa batsman Kirsten last week.
That ended the speculation surrounding Flower, with the England and Wales Cricket Board announcing he'd renewed his contract after two successful years in charge that have seen England lift the 2010 World Twenty20 title and, more recently, win a first Ashes series in Australia since 198687.
