NASSER HUSSAIN believes there are not many better options than “serial winner” Andy Flower for the vacant England white-ball head coach role, but has doubts over whether he will get it.

Matthew Mott left the position last week after a mixed two years, guiding England to T20 World Cup success in 2022 before underwhelming displays in the last two major limited-overs tournaments.

The hunt for Mott’s successor is under way after Rob Key, director of England men’s cricket, said a “new direction” was required, with the Champions Trophy in February the next target.
