Ex-England head coach Andy Flower has left Trent Rockets to take charge at London Spirit.

Zimbabwean Flower, 57, has signed a multi-year contract and replaces Australian Justin Langer at Spirit, who finished second-bottom of the eight-team table last summer.

It is the second high-profile appointment at the Lord’s-based franchise since a 49% stake was sold to the Tech Titans for about £295m.

Earlier this summer, they named former England performance director Mo Bobat as their new director of cricket.

Bobat, who started in his new role on 1 October, holds the same role at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Indian Premier League and, together with Flower, helped them to their first title earlier this year.

Flower, who led England to their last Ashes win in Australia in 2010-11, has also worked in franchise competitions in Pakistan, the West Indies and the UAE.
