Flintoff agrees to England agenda

Flintoff underwent surgery on his right knee in August

Andrew Flintoff has confirmed he will be available for England's schedule of one-day and Twenty20 matches for the next 12 months, when he is fit.

The Lancashire all-rounder, currently recovering from knee surgery, rejected an England and Wales Cricket Board deal to pursue other short-term contracts.

Although retired from Test cricket, Flintoff has insisted he still wants to play limited-overs cricket for England.

"It's good news," ECB managing director Hugh Morris told BBC Radio 5 live.

"Speaking to Andrew's agent, he was very clear from the word go that it was his intention to be available for all one-day internationals and Twenty20s over the next 12 months.

"I outlined the fixture list to Andrew's agent and he confirmed, post rehabilitation, that would be the case."

A chronic knee injury forced Flintoff to retire from Test cricket following England's Ashes-winning victory against Australia at The Oval in August.

After undergoing surgery on his right knee in August, the 31-year-old based himself in Dubai.

He is currently in London to promote his book on the Ashes but will continue his recuperation in the Persian Gulf as well as assisting the United Arab Emirates national team on a casual basis.

Although Flintoff turned down an ECB incremental central contract worth about £25,000 a year earlier this month in favour of taking up more lucrative offers from overseas teams, Flintoff has remained committed to playing 50-over and Twenty20 cricket for England.

While the Lancastrian will miss the one-day series with South Africa in November, he is expected to be fit for England's three one-day internationals against Bangladesh in February 2010 before flying to the Caribbean for the World Twenty20 in May.

As well as his England commitments, Flintoff will also feature in the third Indian Premier League tournament, which begins in March 2010.

He became the joint most expensive player in Twenty20 cricket in February when he was signed by Chennai Super Kings for $1.5m (£1.1m).
