Delhi Bulls, a franchise cricket team in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, has appointed Andy Flower as its head coach for Season 4. Andy replaces Stephen Fleming who had\u00a0mixed fortunes in his two years as Head Coach. The Bulls management also announced\u00a0appointments of Azhar Mahmood and James Foster as assistants to Andy.
\nAndy Flower has had an illustrious cricketing career, and the records show why he is known as one\u00a0of the best cricketing captains Zimbabwe ever produced. Besides his phenomenal batting\u00a0achievements, Andy has donned the coach\u2019s hat numerous times with resounding success, including
\nEngland\u2019s Ashes victory in 2013, coaching the winning team in the Abu Dhabi T10 league in 2019,\u00a0and several other cricket franchises in the shorter format of the game.
\nSpeaking about the new appointment, Neelesh Bhatnagar, Owner of Delhi Bulls, said \u201cWhilst we thank Stephen Fleming for his contribution to the franchise, the time was right to change strategies\u00a0and move in a new direction. The years of expertise and the continued success of Andy Flower could\u00a0make all the difference this year, and we couldn\u2019t be more excited to have him on board. We have\u00a0had some good players represent our franchise over the years, but we simply need to find the right\u00a0rhythm, mix of skills sets, and player combinations to win games. Andy will be visiting Abu Dhabi to\u00a0participate in the draft, playing a significant role in choosing the right team.\u201d

\nWith a new and dynamic coaching setup, the Bulls signed the fierce West Indian all-rounder and\u00a0\u2018Icon player\u2019 Dwayne Bravo, who will also don the Captains hat. He is accompanied by Evin Lewis as\u00a0the other new signing. Key members of their squad from last season that have been retained are;\u00a0West-Indian batsman Sherfane Rutherford, U.S. pacer Ali Khan, Afghan top-order batsman and\u00a0bowler Mohammad Nabi, and Sri Lankan speedster Dushmantha Chameera.
\nSpeaking on his new role, Andy Flower, Head Coach of Delhi Bulls, said \u201cI am excited to join this\u00a0franchise and work closely with Neelesh and rest of the team. This is an exciting new format that has\u00a0been well accepted by the players and fans alike. I had a great time in this tournament last year and I\u00a0am looking to use that experience to help the Bulls achieve success. We have retained experienced\u00a0as well as young players who will play a big role in this team\u2019s fortunes. But the aim now is to look\u00a0towards the main draft to secure our primary targets and create a dynamic squad to play under The\u00a0Champion Bravo.\u201d
\nThe tournament was earlier scheduled for the 19th to 28th of November, 2020. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on all sporting events, the league was rescheduled to fit the January-February timeline. The tournament\u2019s format will be a round-robin event with each team facing off\u00a0against the other, followed by the playoffs and final.
\nThe Main Draft is scheduled to be held on 23rd December 2020 and can be viewed live on the Abu\u00a0Dhabi T10 social media channels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
