Flower named coach of the year

England cricket coach Andy Flower has been awarded coach of the year for the national side's triumphs over the last twelve months.

The 43-year-old was given the accolade at the UK Coaching Awards in London, which included a lifetime achievement award for athletics coach Malcolm Arnold.

Late ex-England bowler Graham Dilley, who passed away last month, was recognised with a special lifetime achievement award.

Flower was also given the high-performance coach of the year award due to England's Ashes success and becoming the world's best Test side.
