Jul 14, 2023
Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 14 : Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday parted ways with head coach Andy Flower after two seasons.
LSG thanked Flower for his services. “Dear Andy, Today it’s farewell, but it’ll never be goodbye because you’ll always be one of our own. Thank you for everything! ,” the franchise wrote in the Twitter post.
Flower has worked with Punjab Kings as an assistant coach for two seasons before joining LSG in 2021.
Flower led Lucknow to back-to-back third-place finishes in the Indian Premier League in 2022 and 2023.
The former Zimbabwe captain and wicketkeeper-batter Flower is one of England’s most successful coaches, guiding them to three consecutive Ashes wins in this millennium, which includes triumphs in 2009 and 2013 at home, and most impressively, Down Under in 2010-11.
Flower, who collaborated closely with the Super Giants' director of cricket, Gautam Gambhir, had a successful tenure with the team, finishing in the playoffs in both of their previous seasons. Super Giants placed third in their inaugural IPL season in 2022, and in IPL 2023, they were eliminated in the Eliminator.
Currently serving as Australia's consultant for the men's Ashes, Flower is one of the most seasoned coaches in the T20 circuit.
