Andy Flower OBE
Andy Flower is an international cricket legend who is best known for captaining Zimbabwe and coaching the England cricket team. Regarded as one of England’s greatest coaches of all time, in 2011 he led the nation to the top of the world rankings and oversaw a 3-0 Ashes victory over the old enemy Australia. These successes saw him lauded throughout the world, and he’s now transferring his expertise from the world of elite sport to events around the country as a popular cricket after-dinner speaker.
From a young age, it was clear that Andy was going to have a career in cricket. Born in South Africa, he made his international debut in 1992 for Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka in the Cricket World Cup. He went on to be his nation’s wicket-keeper for over a decade and statistically remains the country’s greatest batsman of all time. When hired as an excellent cricket speaker, Andy is able to share a number of fantastic anecdotes from his playing days as well as offer expert insight into the current goings-on in international cricket.
His coaching career began in 2007 when he was named assistant coach of the England team. In 2009, he was promoted to the top job and soon had his country playing some of the best cricket on the planet. 2011 was undoubtedly the standout year for Andy, as England topped the world rankings and romped home with the Ashes title. He was also named ‘Coach of the Year’ at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards.
But, despite the many successes, it’s not always been plain sailing for Andy. The 2013/14 Ashes series saw England humiliated 5-0 by Australia, following which he stepped down from his role. Plus, he’s regularly spoken out about how his cricket career meant that he has had to sacrifice quality time at home with his wife and children. These are topics he can openly discuss at his speaking events. It’s this raw honesty and realism that has seen Andy establish himself as one of the most highly sought after cricket speakers around.
Now, Andy can still be found coaching at a high level, displaying his talents in India with Lucknow Super Giants. And, in 2021 he was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame the first Zimbabwean to be given the honour.
If you’re looking for one of the country’s most renowned cricket speakers to make an impact at your next corporate event, Andy Flower is the ideal choice for you.
