Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff has reportedly been warned by ex captain Michael Vaughan that cricket has moved on since he last played five years ago as the all-rounder has come out of retirement to play county cricket for Lancashire in the T20 Blast.

Vaughan said that delivering the ball out of the hand Flintoff would be absolutely fine, but they would wait and see if his former teammate will be able to whack the ball out of the ground.

According to the BBC, Vaughan said that Flintoff, who starred in the England's Test series victory over Australia in 2005 and 2009 before retiring, is a hero for all of them for what the all-rounder did in the Ashes.

However, Vaughan added that as for how Flintoff would do now, the game has moved on.

Meanwhile, Flintoff, who announced his retirement from international cricket in 2009 from a career plagued with injuries, said that he still has some unfinished business with cricket, adding that it was the easiest decision of his career to play again.
