Flintoff out of retirement to play county T20

Former England captain Andrew Flintoff has come out of retirement to join Lancashire's squad for this season's English domestic Twenty20 competition, the county announced today.
Pace bowling all-rounder Flintoff played 79 Tests and 141 one-day internationals and seven Twenty20s for England before injury forced the now 36-year-old to retire in 2009.
However, the Preston-born Flintoff has been training with his native Lancashire, the only county side he's ever represented, in recent months and is looking forward to making a comeback he once thought was beyond him.
"I'm really honoured to be part of Lancashire once again," he said in a club statement issued today.

"It is something that I never thought would happen but, after training with the squad over the last few months, I am really happy that they have invited me to play.
"I have worked really hard to get back to my fittest and I hope that we have a successful summer. I'm just glad that I can be part of it.
