Andrew Flintoff has been selected as the new head coach of the England Lions cricket team.
The 46-year-old, who formerly captained his country and won the Ashes in 2005, has been working with the white-ball team as of late.
Flintoff has coached the men’s Northampton Superchargers side in The Hundred and is with England’s Test team for their final series match against Sri Lanka.
Ahead of upcoming winter tours of South Africa and Australia, ‘Freddie’ will commence work in his new role in October.
“I’m incredibly excited to take on this role with the England Lions,” he said.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with some of the best up-and-coming talent in the country and to help shape the future of the men’s game.
“It’s an exciting time for English cricket, and I’m passionate about inspiring the next generation to take the sport forward. We’ve got a strong foundation, and I believe we can create something truly special.”
