T20 World Cup: Former captain Andrew Flintoff has been appointed as head coach of the England Lions’ team for the next 12 months. Fast-bowling all-rounder Flintoff played 79 Tests for England between 1998 and 2009, including being a hero for the side in their 2005 Ashes triumph.

After his international career was over, Flintoff moved towards being a television presenter. But after suffering serious injuries in a horrific car crash while filming the Top Gear show in December 2022, Flintoff came back to the cricketing circuit, with support from men’s team managing director Rob Key.

Since then, he has been consistently present in England men’s support staff across all formats as a consultant and served as an assistant coach during this year’s T20 World Cup and West Indies tour. Flintoff also worked with the Lions and U19 teams, and this year, he got his first head coach assignment with Northern Superchargers in the Hundred.
