Andrew Flintoff out of T20 World Cup 2009

It is definitely bad news for English cricket fans ahead of ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2009. English all rounder Andrew Flintoff has now been ruled out of England’s twenty20 world cup mission as he failed to shake off his knee injury. The all rounder pulled himself out of IPL 2009 just after making a short presence in the twenty20 competition in South Africa last month, and then underwent a knee surgery. However, Flintoff could not yet recover from the injury fully and that is why, England selectors decided not to rush him for the upcoming event in England. Rather, they called up Yorkshire player Adil Rashid in his place. Flintoff also missed England’s recent home test and ODI series wins.


Well, it is a huge blow to miss someone like Andrew Flintoff, who is known for his big hits, but still I think England is a strong side in the tournament and I would not surprise if England end up winning Twenty20 world cup this year.
