Andrew Flintoff’s cricket comeback has been put off indefinitely, the player will certainly not feature for club or country during this current season and his rehabilitation will continue into the winter months.
Flintoff was pulled out of the Lancashire second XI team who are playing Yorkshire today, following a similar situation yesterday (Monday) when the player was pencilled in for his cricketing comeback in a one day match against the same county.
Following tests on Monday the one day match was deemed to be too much too soon for the all rounder, who was then expected to take part in the three day match which started today.
However medical staff at the Lancashire County Club considered that Flintoff was still not ready to play in the county game believing the game would prove ‘too vigorous’ for the 32 year old.
A statement from Lancashire CC says;
“Following consultation with Andrew Flintoff, Andy Williams (Flintoff’s surgeon) and our own medical team, Lancashire County Cricket Club have today confirmed Flintoff will not be returning to competitive cricket for the remainder of the 2010 season.”
