IPL 2022- PBKS: Andy Flower– There is a good possibility that the 53-year-old is given a bigger role in his next IPL assignment. Flower worked alongside head coach Anil Kumble for the past two seasons. The development comes at a time when K L Rahul, Punjab Kings skipper for the past two seasons, is expected to move to the Lucknow franchise.

During his time with the England team, Flower led the side to the T20 World Cup title in 2010 and number one spot in the Test rankings.
