Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff yesterday admitted he was looking forward to quit Test cricket because he was fed up missing Coronation Street. Flintoff, 31, shocked the sporting world when he announced he was retiring from the five-day game at the end of the current series. The all-rounder cricketer claimed had he been forced to make the decision after years of injuries and operations.
“It just came to a point where I would come back from an injury and have a couple of weeks where everything was fine, then things would go downhill again” He told.
He said “I’ve done something like two years rehabilitation out of the last four and for my body, for my family’s sake I have decided to call time on the Tests and concentrate on the shorter form of cricket.”
