Won't miss backstabbing by ex-players and politics in TV channels, says Grant Flower
Grant Flower has stated that he will miss the passion of the Pakistani cricketers after leaving the post of batting coach but will not miss the “backstabbing” by former players and politics in TV channels. The former Zimbabwe batsman has also termed the Pakistani fans “passionate” and “supportive”.
Pakistan’s former batting coach Grant Flower, who was a part of the team for five years, has revealed that there is a lot of politics in the TV channels and backstabbing by the former cricketers as well. He also indicated at politics inside the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in one of his recent interviews.
"Some of the backstabbing by ex-players. And a lot of the politics that happens within the TV channels, the journalists and some of the politics in the PCB itself. I won't miss those, certainly," Flower told ESPNcricinfo.
The Zimbabwean was a part of the Pakistani side since 2014, and the 2017 Champions Trophy triumph was the biggest achievement in his career. The former batting coach wished the fans and also urged them to look for positives and not the negatives.
"I just want to wish them all the best for the future and being supportive and passionate, which they already are. And have faith. Have faith in the players and stick behind them. Look for the positives as opposed to the negatives."
