"I'm really honoured to be part of Lancashire once again," "It is something that I never thought would happen but, after training with the squad over the last few months, I am really happy that they have invited me to play.

"I have worked really hard to get back to my fittest and I hope that we have a successful summer. I'm just glad that I can be part of it."

Lancashire cricket director Mike Watkinson said about inclusion of flintoff in his club:


"We are delighted to have Fred involved once again at the club,"

"He is Lancashire through and through and his record for both club and country speaks for itself," the former England international added.

"'Fred' (Flintoff) has been back at Emirates Old Trafford under his own steam since the (English) winter and has been working with the Academy and in the nets with some of the other players.

"Over a period of time he has picked up on his physical conditioning and this continues to improve. He has shown in practice that he still has plenty of class with bat and ball."
