Grant Flower is all set to join Sussex County Cricket Club (SCCC)-now known as Sussex Cricket-as its batting coach.
The 51-year-old Flower has experience of coaching several national teams and franchises, viz. Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and Sri Lanka.
His last stint as batting coach for the Sri Lankan team ended last month. He is one of the foreigners who has not reapplied for coaching in Sri Lanka.
“He will be signing Sussex as its batting coach and it will be made public on January 4”, one of the sources, said exclusively over the telephone.
Interestingly, the Sussex team has two different head coaches for the different formats of the game.
James Kirtley is T-20 head coach and Ian Salis-bury is the head coach for the red ball game.
Grant Flower’s elder brother Andy Flower is named as head coach for the new Lucknow fran-chise team in the IPL.
