Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes there is no better option than Andy Flower for England’s vacant white-ball head coach position but is doubtful whether he will get the job.

Notably, Matthew Mott stepped down last week after the team’s mixed performance in two years. He led England to T20 World Cup success in 2022, although his performance in the last two major limited overs tournaments was disappointing.

The search for a new head coach began after England men’s director of cricket Rob Key said the team needed a “new direction”, with the next target being the Champions Trophy in February.

Nasir Hussain told who is the best option to become a coach

Former English cricketer Michael Atherton says that Andy Flower should be reappointed as the head coach of England. Supporting his teammate, Nasser Hussain also confirmed this and named him.

Let us tell you that when Andy Flower was the coach of the English team, during his tenure, England won the T20 World Cup 2010 and also became the number-1 team in the Test format. However, despite achieving so much success, Flower did not want to remain the coach, because during his tenure many players were not happy with the tough training sessions.

Hussain told the PA news agency:

“If I ask Andy Flower to become the coach, people will not agree to this. Andy was earlier against franchises and tournaments like IPL but now it is not so. Now he has travelled around the world, won for most of the franchises and has done some very good things.”

“He’s a fantastic coach. You just have to look at his CV and if Rob (England team director) has pulled out Andy Flower’s CV, there’s hardly a better choice, but again that’s only if Andy wants to do it.”

“All are very good candidates and I reiterate, the job is not to find a candidate, but to find a candidate who really wants to do the job.”
