England salutes Flintoff

Andrew Flintoff has finally been forced to call time on his illustrious career after struggling to recover from his troublesome knee injuries. The all-rounder hasn’t played since the final Ashes Test last summer. He was forced to have knee surgery after the victorious series and again at the beginning of this year.

The 33 year old was planning on playing some T20 cricket in Australia in a bid to get back into the England one day side. After consulting his doctors Flintoff has been forced to accept the fact that his body just isn’t up to it anymore and retirement is his only option.
