Flower, in a statement, confirmed he will be working as batting consultant and mentor of the Peshawar Zalmi franchise in the PSL scheduled to be held in UAE in February.
"I am looking forward to doing something different after I have been approached to do some batting coaching for Peshawar, one of the franchises in the new Pakistan Super League," said Flower.
"I have chatted with Andrew Strauss about whether that is OK from an ECB perspective and he says it is on the basis that it is good for our English coaches to get out and about amongst some of these Twenty20 franchise competitions, to learn what is happening outside of the domestic game in England, to interact with some of the international coaches and players, and to bring some of that knowledge back into our game in England," he added.
Flower, who toured Pakistan three times, also indicated the PSL was a good thing for Pakistan cricket at a time when no international teams were touring the country due to security concerns.

He said he was saddened by the fact that there was no international cricket in Pakistan.
"I toured Pakistan a number of times as a player, and I think it is really sad that we are not playing international cricket in Pakistan," he said.
"I think I am really going to find it interesting being in amongst a group of Pakistani players and coaches, with a few international players there.
"I am really looking forward to seeing how they do things, learning about them, and that should be a fascinating aspect of the three weeks or a month that were together," he added.
