Flintoff uncertain for India Test

Published December 19, 2005

LONDON, Dec 18: Andrew Flintoff revealed on Sunday that he could miss England’s third Test against India in March to attend the birth of his second child. The 28-year-old all-rounder’s wife Rachael is due to give birth on March 20 and Flintoff is planning to discuss the situation with the team management.

“The baby is due on March 20 and that’s something I’ll have to speak to them about before any announcements or decisions are made,” Flintoff told The Mail on Sunday.

Andrew Strauss recently missed the third Test against Pakistan because of the birth of a child and captain Michael Vaughan also left the tour before the one-day series.—AFP
