ANDY FLOWER (RCB HEAD COACH) ON THE BIGGEST REGRET & BAD DECISION OF HIS LIFE 🥺🗣️:
"When I was the head coach of England team across formats and we were having quite a success. We were winning alot, three Ashes in a row, T20 WC, number 1 Test team etc
I was traveling 250 nights away from my family, my wife and my three kids. One day my wife sat me down and said that it can't go like this and I need to make some sort of adjustments or things could take a turn for the worst. I think it was good of her of making me realise about my responsibilities. I talked it with ECB director and we appointed a white ball head coach Ashley Giles under my supervision and I continued with the Test team. And it never worked. Me and Ashley never gelled well.
In the temptation of holding onto the both things, the fame & success of being at the head of England cricket and being a family man a committed father, I ENDED UP LOSING BOTH. We lost the ashes 5-0, I resigned. I ended up leaving the home , there was a break up in the family and that was quite traumatic for my wife, my kids and myself. We still have to bear the scars of it.
One of Buddha's principles of living says it about being afraid of losing one thing and then ending up losing both. I regret that I wasn't wise enough"
