'''Andrew Flower''' {{post-nominals|OBE}} (born 28 April 1968) is a Zimbabwean [[cricket]] coach and a former cricketer. As a cricketer, he captained the [[Zimbabwe national cricket team]] and is widely regarded as the greatest Zimbabwean cricketer ever and one of the greatest [[wicket-keeper-batter]]s of all time.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/greatest-wicket-keepers-of-all-time-andy-flower|title=Greatest wicket-keepers of all time: Andy Flower|website=sportskeeda|date=9 February 2013 |language=en|access-date=2023-01-03}}</ref> He was Zimbabwe's [[wicket-keeper]] for more than 10 years and is, statistically, the greatest [[batsman]] the country has produced. His highest score in ODI cricket which was his 145 he made against India in the [[2002 ICC Champions Trophy]] is also the highest score made by a Zimbabwe player at any tournaments. During his peak from October to December 2001, Flower was ranked as the best Test batsman in the world. He was widely acknowledged as the only Zimbabwe batsman of proper test quality in any conditions. After retirement, he served as the coach of the [[England national cricket team|English cricket team]] from 2009 to 2014. Under his coaching, England won the [[2010 ICC World Twenty20]]. Flower became the [[List of England cricket team coaches|second foreign coach]] in the team's history. Currently, he is the head coach of [[Trent Rockets]] in [[The Hundred (cricket)|The Hundred]] and [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in the [[Indian Premier League]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28871143/andy-flower-named-st-lucia-zouks-head-coach-kings-xi-punjab-tie-up|title=Andy Flower named St Lucia Zouks head coach after Kings XI Punjab tie-up|date=2020-03-09|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dailytimes.com.pk/514879/multan-sultans-appoint-andy-flower-as-head-coach/|title=Multan Sultans appoint Andy Flower as head coach|date=6 December 2019}}</ref>

Under his tenure, Flower led the Multan Sultans to their first playoffs in the [[2020 Pakistan Super League|2020 season]]. The Sultans finished first in the league stage but ultimately lost in the preliminaries. Similarly, he led the Zouks to their first finals appearance in the [[2020 Caribbean Premier League|CPL]]. Flower served as assistant coach to [[Kings XI Punjab]] (now [[Punjab Kings]]) for IPL 2020 and 2021 before joining [[Lucknow Super Giants]] as the head coach.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/28857211/andy-flower-appointed-assistant-coach-kings-xi-punjab-overhaul|title=Andy Flower appointed assistant coach in Kings XI Punjab overhaul|date=2020-03-07|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref> In June 2021, he was inducted to the [[ICC Cricket Hall of Fame]] and became the first Zimbabwean to be inducted into ICC Hall of Fame.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Andy Flower and Kumar Sangakkara among 10 players inducted into ICC Hall of Fame|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/andy-flower-and-kumar-sangakkara-among-10-players-inducted-into-icc-hall-of-fame-1266357|access-date=2021-06-13|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Sangakkara, Andy Flower among inductees in ICC Hall of Fame|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/117748/sangakkara-andy-flower-among-inductees-in-icc-hall-of-fame|access-date=2021-06-13|website=Cricbuzz|date=13 June 2021 |language=en}}</ref> In August 2023, he was appointed as the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore after his term ended with Lucknow Super Giants.

==Playing career==
Flower was born in [[Cape Town]], South Africa,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/672788 |title=Born in one country, played for another |work=International Cricket Council |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref> and starting from his high school days at [[Oriel Boys' High School]] and [[Vainona High School]] played most of his career alongside his younger brother [[Grant Flower]]. He is considered to be one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen of all time, alongside players such as [[MS Dhoni]], [[Adam Gilchrist]], [[Kumar Sangakkara]] and [[Jeff Dujon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cricketdawn.com/featured-articles/top-10-wicketkeeper-batsmen-of-all-time.html|author=Dhruv Rupani|title=Top 10 Wicketkeeper Batsmen of all Time|date=13 January 2012|access-date=1 November 2017}}</ref> Flower made his international debut in a [[One Day International]] against [[Sri Lanka]] at [[New Plymouth]], [[New Zealand]], in the [[1992 Cricket World Cup]]. A good player of spin, he made 550 runs in a Test series against India in 2000/01. This tally came in just four innings and he was only dismissed twice. He is one of the few players to score [[List of centuries scored on One Day International cricket debut|a century on ODI debut]] and became the first player ever to score a century on ODI debut in a World Cup match.<ref>{{Cite web|title=RESULT - 3rd Match, New Plymouth, Feb 23 1992, Benson & Hedges World Cup - Scorecard|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65120/sri-lanka-vs-zimbabwe-3rd-match-benson-&-hedges-world-cup-1991-92|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924031921/https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65120/sri-lanka-vs-zimbabwe-3rd-match-benson-&-hedges-world-cup-1991-92|archive-date=24 September 2020|access-date=4 November 2020|website=[[ESPN Cricinfo]]}}</ref>

He holds the Zimbabwean records for the most Test career runs, the highest Test batting average, and most ODI career runs. 

His aggregate score of 341 in the first Test against [[South Africa cricket team|South Africa]] in 2001 is the second highest ever by a batsman on the losing side.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/282863.html|title=Most runs in a match on the losing side|work=ESPNCricinfo|access-date=1 November 2017}}</ref>

Andy Flower is also the only player to score an ODI hundred on debut in a world cup match.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/233754.html|title=Records {{!}} One-Day Internationals {{!}} Batting records {{!}} Hundred on debut {{!}} ESPN Cricinfo|work=ESPNCricinfo|access-date=1 November 2017}}</ref> He also has the record for the most matches (149) to score his second ODI ton after scoring a century on debut, when he did it in only in his 150th ODI.

===Black armband===

Towards the end of his career, Flower achieved international recognition when he and teammate [[Henry Olonga]] wore [[Black armband protest|black armbands]] during the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]] match against [[Namibia cricket team|Namibia]] to protest against [[Robert Mugabe]]'s policies.<ref>{{cite news|title=Andy Flower & Henry Olonga: the 'death of democracy' remembered|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/21359274|department=[[BBC Sport]]|date=7 February 2013|access-date=1 November 2017}}</ref> He and Olonga released a statement on 10 February, stating in part:

{{Quotation|In all the circumstances, we have decided that we will each wear a black armband for the duration of the World Cup. In doing so we are mourning the death of democracy in our beloved Zimbabwe. In doing so we are making a silent plea to those responsible to stop the abuse of human rights in Zimbabwe. In doing so, we pray that our small action may restore sanity and dignity to our Nation.}}

This act led to pressure from Zimbabwe's government, Flower's retirement from Zimbabwean cricket and exile from Zimbabwe itself, only briefly returning in 2023 as a commentator during the [[2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Zimbabwe blooms in front of Flower upon Andy's return|url=https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/zimbabwe-blooms-in-front-of-flower-upon-andys-return|department=[[International Cricket Council|ICC]]|date=11 July 2023|access-date=7 January 2025}}</ref> He later played an English [[county cricket]] season for [[Essex]] and an Australian domestic season for [[South Australia]].
