Andy Flower rules himself out of vacant England Test coaching job

Flower had previously successfully been England head coach between 2009 and 2014 and has now carved a out a successful career on the T20 circuit, notably winning back-to-back IPL titles with Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Flower was seen a leading candidate to return to the England fold with the ECB now searching for a mentor to take over in the red-ball format.

"The bottom line for me is that I'm very happy in the work that I'm doing at the moment... I'm really comfortable with what I'm doing," Flower said at a media for Hundred franchise London Spirit. "I have (ruled myself out), yes.

"I work for a couple of really good organisations. I've got really good teams around me and good people around me and I'm really comfortable with what I'm doing at the moment.

"I've worked with England before and I had an amazing time when I had the privilege to be England head coach and represent England as one of their leaders a number of years ago, and I remember those years really fondly, and it would be a privilege for me or anyone else to be the Test coach.

"But for me at this time, I'm really comfortable with what I'm doing. I'm going to stick with doing that."
