Flintoff out of Sri Lanka ODIs

Andrew Flintoff has been ruled out of England’s upcoming one-day international series against Sri Lanka due to continued ankle problems.

England coach Peter Moores said in an ECB statement that “This in an on-going process. We needed to test out how the ankle was and this tournament was ideal because he could only bowl four overs a match.”

“Now he will go back to England for strengthening work and we will see where we go from there,” Morres added.

England play five one-day internationals against Sri Lanka followed by a three match Test series which Flintoff is hopeful of playing in.
