Calling up Luke is not like-for-like for Andrew Flintoff
I’ve got the IPL shortly after that, and then the World Twenty20 [starting on April 30]. I just want to get playing as soon as I can, but to give a date is difficult at the moment
It would be unfair of me to walk away now ... Andrew Flintoff's walked away so you're taking probably about 135 Test matches out of the equation in a short space of time.
Manchester would be a fantastic base for any team in 2018 World Cup. North West people love their sport and whoever was based there would enjoy the experience.
In the space of a few weeks we have had two leading players withdrawing from components of the international game, Andrew Flintoff from Tests and Ricky Ponting, from Twenty20 internationals
And Andrew knows just how crucial it is to hit the ground running when you land because South Africa are such a dangerous team. They are on a par with Australia. We had success there a few years ago and just about come out on top in the Tests. It's a great place to tour but it's such a hard place to go ...
Following his retirement from Test cricket, Andrew Flintoff is no longer eligible for a 12-month central contract
And Andrew knows just how crucial it is to hit the ground running when you land because South Africa are such a dangerous team. They are on a par with Australia.

The surgeon says the chances of me coming back are high ... Obviously there is always the odd case where it doesn't work but I did my own research. You Google the operation and get all these examples. A lot of basketball players have had it and they're much bigger and heavier and they jump higher than m...
I am actually quite pleased I managed to get to 31 and play 70-odd Test matches because for the bulk of them I have been struggling. I'd love to play for years and years. If you spoke to Graham Gooch or Ian Botham they would love to make a comeback and play again - and I'm no different
If you speak to any team in the world, Aussies included, about who they don't want to face, it's Steve Harmison. He'd be in my team any day
I'm available for every England game except Test matches
We were watching Harmy bowling to Hughes [for England Lions] and when Harmy hit him on the head first ball it was a huge lift
I'll be available for every [England] game
The ECB told us about the money they would lose by not playing the Test series and they emphasised the impact that would have on cricket in England, on county cricket and grassroots cricket. Basically they were telling us that if we went home some lad in Preston might not be able to play cricket
I am grateful to the ECB for all the financial support they have given me to help in my rehabilitation. I have moved to Dubai because I believe it will help in that and their decision to pay for Dave Roberts' continued expertise to aid my recovery has been invaluable.
