Grant William Flower (born 20 December 1970) is a Zimbabwean cricket coach and former cricketer. He has been the batting coach of the Sri Lanka cricket team, Pakistan cricket team, and Sussex.
He is rated among the best Zimbabwean cricketers in history for his consistent left arm spin and fine batting skills. He was a fitness fanatic who spent hours in the gym, and was also regarded as a brilliant fielder usually positioned in the gully. "Flower Power", the combination of Grant and his brother Andy Flower, was the mainstay of Zimbabwean batting for a decade. He was his team's most successful opening batsman who played the role of anchorman, with strokeplayers coming in down the order.
