Andy Flower has ruled himself out of the running to become England's new Test head coach after Brendon McCullum was recently relieved from the role.

The two-time IPL winning boss previously coached England between 2009 and 2014, winning home and away Ashes series as well as a tour to India.

With just over a month remaining before the start of a three-match series against Pakistan, the ECB faces a race against time to finalise a replacement, while also keeping an eye on next year's home Ashes series.

England are looking for a new Test coach. Brendon McCullum will stand down as England Men's Test head coach but will continue to guide the white-ball teams, the ECB said in a statement on Sunday

Brendon McCullum, who remains England's limited overs coach, paid the price for a run of seven defeats in nine Tests, including a woeful 4-1 Ashes series loss in Australia.

Brendon McCullum will remain in charge of the white-ball set-up but England are now looking for both a new Test coach and captain ahead of next month's series with Pakistan.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) head coach Andy Flower hailed Virat Kohli as the "heartbeat" of the team's dressing room after they won their second consecutive Indian Premier League (IPL).

It would not be an exaggeration to think that the Royal Challengers then were the Paris Saint-Germain of the IPL, a team thriving on a Galacticos culture.

RCB coach Andy Flower was fined by the IPL over his argument with the 4th official during the 18th over the run-chase against the Mumbai Indians.

Amid the high-scoring encounter against CSK, a hilarious moment from RCB's innings went viral on social media, leaving fans in splits.
