The new era for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is all set to start from Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). RCB’s director of cricket operations, Mike Hesson, will stand down from his position on August 31. He will reportedly be replaced by Andy Flower as head coach.
Sanjay Bangar, the head coach of the RCB, and the remaining members of Hesson’s support staff are also expected to go.
According to Cricbuzz, Flower was in talks with a number of organizations, including the Rajasthan Royals. It is now clear that the Bengaluru-based franchise has retained his services for the ensuing years, nevertheless.

After his two-year deal with the Lucknow Super Giants expired after the IPL 2023, Andy Flower’s affiliation with them ended earlier this year. Justin Langer has already joined the team that is controlled by Sanjiv Goenka.
The UK-based Diageo corporation, which owns RCB, is recognized for making well-informed judgments supported by thorough research. Hesson’s appointment in 2019 came after a similarly thorough hiring procedure. Evidently, the team did a thorough examination of Andy Flower, a highly regarded player in the world of cricket.

The St. Lucia Zouks in the CPL (2020), the Multan Sultans in the PSL (2021), and the Gulf Giants in the ILT20 (2023) are just a few of the T20 teams that Andy Flower is involved with on a global scale. He also provided advice to the coaching staff of the Australian team during the just-completed Ashes series. Andy Flower actually spent the final three Ashes Tests in the Australian team’s dressing room.
Rumours that have been circulating among Indian Premier League fans clearly imply that the Andy Flower deal has already been sealed. A decision on the coach cannot be made, according to franchise authorities who stated last month that the contracts of the Hesson-led staff were still in effect.
Mike Hesson started working with RCB in 2019, during which the squad earned playoffs spot three times. Unfortunately, Shubman Gill’s outstanding performance prevented them from achieving their goal of finishing in the top four in the IPL 2023.
