cricket<\/a> that England have been playing. It\u2019s going to be exciting. But firstly, I would say don\u2019t dismiss the Indian seamers and their attacking prowess because they are genuinely outstanding performers. They can pick up 20 wickets. It\u2019s not only about the spin contest,\u201d Flower, who is the coach of Gulf Giants, the defending champions of the ongoing DP World ILT20 League, said. <\/p>\n\u201cI would be surprised if India don\u2019t win the series because they are so good in home conditions and they have all the bases covered,\u201d added the 55-year-old Flower.
After his assignment in the UAE, Flower has a more challenging job on hand as coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are yet to win the IPL.
\u201cI am really looking forward to my stint with the RCB. It\u2019s an exciting opportunity for me to see if we can do anything special with RCB,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
With the emergence of franchise leagues around the world, the cricket calendar has become extremely cramped, and the former Zimbabwe captain feels the governing body should try to find the right balance.
\u201cI have been involved in franchise cricket for nearly five years now and it\u2019s been an interesting journey for me personally and professionally as well. It\u2019s different than coaching a national side. But how the ICC balances international cricket and franchise leagues over the coming years is going to be interesting,\u201d said Flower.<\/div>\n
