IPL T20, Andrew Flintoff and Ashes 2009

Ashes series is very prestigious for the Englishmen. The Ashes-2009 will be taken on from July-August 2009 after the Twenty20 World Cup 2009. It considers that Andrew Flintoff will be the key players for this season. England lost to Australia for 5-0 in the 2006-07 Ashes. But this year Australia is not in good form so it is a big opportunity to take revenge against the Australia

England tours of West Indies. They are now the middle point of the ongoing tour. Now, 4th Test is going on. From the statistics of the previous matches, WI steps a head to take the series victory. But, in the 4th test they have scored 600 runs just loosing 6 wickets.

Cricinfo reported:

Warne, though, felt England need not worry. "The Ashes will be the most important thing to Andrew Flintoff," Warne told Sky Sports News. "If the IPL is going to jeopardise him playing for England in the Ashes, then I don't think Andrew Flintoff will go to the IPL. He'll make sure he's 100% fit. If he thinks he's fit and he wants to go and play in the IPL, no problem at all."

 

English all-rounder, Andrew Flintoff has been kept out from the 4th Test due to injury. He also signed up with the IPL T20 on the side of Chennai Super Kings. But, he is doubt to join in the IPL T20 second season. Now we have to wait for what the result come.
