Moores: Flintoff is on track for Ashes return
LANCASHIRE coach Peter Moores believes Andrew Flintoff is on track to be fit to play in the Ashes after the England all-rounder made a miraculous return from injury yesterday.
Playing his first County match for six weeks since undergoing knee surgery, Flintoff had Durham opener Michael Di Venuto caught behind off only his second ball before ending the day with figures of 2-30 off 12 overs.
Flintoff is hoping to impress the England selectors in time for the first Ashes Test at Cardiff on 8 June and county coach Moores, sacked as England coach in January, believes the paceman is right on track.
“Over the last four of five days he’s increased his intensity and bowled a bit more each day, and he came through very well so he’s fit to play,” Moores said.
