Grant Flower said the "lack of freedom and security aspect" is the most frustrating thing about living in strife-torn Pakistan, where he has served as the national team's batting coach for five years.

In 2014, the former Zimbabwe opener was roped in to coach the Pakistan batsmen, but the country's Cricket Board (PCB) last week decided not to renew his contract.

Asked what was the most frustrating thing about living in Pakistan during an interview to ESPNcricinfo, Flower replied: "The security aspect and the lack of freedom."
Asked what he won't miss about working in Pakistan, Flower said: "Some of the backstabbing by ex-players. And a lot of the politics that happens within the TV channels, the journalists and some of the politics in the PCB itself. I won't miss those, certainly."
"I think Haris Sohail is probably an underachiever - I think a lot of people haven't seen the best of him yet."
