Andrew Flower, known as Andy Flower, is a Zimbabwean cricket coach and former cricketer, born on 28 April 1968, who captained the Zimbabwe national cricket team and is widely regarded as the greatest Zimbabwean cricketer and one of the greatest wicket-keeper batters of all time. He kept wicket for Zimbabwe for more than ten years, made his international debut at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, and from October to December 2001 was ranked the best Test batsman in the world. At the 2003 Cricket World Cup he and teammate Henry Olonga wore black armbands in a match against Namibia to protest against Robert Mugabe's policies. After retiring he coached England from 2009 to 2014, winning the 2010 ICC World Twenty20, and in June 2021 became the first Zimbabwean inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
