Freddie taking time to reflect

Andrew Flintoff has been a notable absentee from the start of Peter Moores' reign as England coach as he undergoes his latest period of rehab following further ankle surgery. He isn't expected to play again until mid-August, but is using the extended spell on the sidelines to put together his plans for rediscovering his best form. Simon Hughes spoke to him, for the Daily Telegraph, during a competition event at Lord's.

Flintoff just wants to be himself. He accepts that there is a time and place for everything and that "in the winter I got it wrong. But I've not changed anything much. I'm still doing the things I've always done. I'm happy with myself".
