More pain to come, but no individual player will be targeted: Flower

England coach Andy Flower has said that there was more pain to come, but insisted that no individual player will be targeted in the wake of England's Ashes series meltdown in Australia.

Flower, who will continue his role as team director, despite the humiliating 5-0 defeat, and he admitted that changes need to be made if England are to enjoy Test match success.

A number of senior players face uncertain futures as Flower and skipper Alastair Cook assess the disastrous series.

Flower said he would not identify individual players facing the axe, with reports that high-profile batsman Kevin Pietersen, one of the big English failures in the series, was under pressure, Sport24 reports.

Pietersen, who averages just over 47 in 104 Tests, was dismissed for three and six in the final Test to finish with 294 runs in the series at 29.40.

Flower made it clear that he was prepared to make tough decisions.

Wicketkeeper Matt Prior, who was dropped for the last two Tests, could also face the axe from the team.

England has five months before they host Sri Lanka for a two-Test series.
