The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) invited applications for the position of the men’s national team head coach and the tenure for the same starting from July 1 to December 31, 2027, till the next edition of the ODI World Cup. 

 "I haven't applied. I won't be applying. I am happy with my involvement in the franchise game at the moment," Andy Flower was quoted as saying by PTI.

Andy Flower guided the 2012 England team to a Test series win in India and also has been a past of the Lucknow Super Giants and many franchises across the globe and stated that the 56-year-old was pretty much happy on how things stood at the moment.
