FORMER Zimbabwe cricket captain Andy Flower has been hired as the head coach of UAE (United Arab Emirates) International League T20 (ILT20) team Gulf Giants whose name was announced on Tuesday (12).
The team is owned and managed by the Adani Group. The inaugural season of the ILT20 will take place between January and February 2023. Flower, arguably Zimbabwe's greatest ever cricketer, brings three decades of cricketing experience into the side. The 2010 T20 World Cup-winning coach of England was also the head coach of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants until recently.
Flower has previously coached the national teams of England and Afghanistan, as well as franchises such as Punjab Kings (IPL), Maratha Arabians (Abu Dhabi T10), Multan Sultans (PSL), St Lucia Kings (CPL) and Delhi Bulls (Abu Dhabi T10).
"It's exciting to be a part of any of the big franchise tournaments, and the ILT20 has big plans to be a major franchise tournament. As leaders, our job is to serve the players as best we can, and this principle is very important to me," said Flower.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has shattered records, expanded brackets, and rewritten the script of global football representation. While subcontinental heavyweights like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal have yet to grace a World Cup pitch as competing nations, the tournament’s expanded 48-team format has thrown a dazzling spotlight on a different phenomenon: the deep, global reach of the South Asian diaspora.
From the shores of New Zealand to the deserts of Qatar, and into the roaring stadiums of North America, players carrying ancestral roots from Pakistan, Punjab, Kerala, and Tamil heritage are actively wearing national jerseys, logging vital minutes, and asserting their presence at the highest tier of the sport. Far from being mere footnotes, these athletes represent the shifting, multicultural identities of modern international football.
