Flintoff would be going under right knee surgery. Following this, the 31-year-old will miss the two-Test series against West Indies, which starts at Lord’s on 6 May.
Flintoff felt discomfort in his right knee while playing for Chennai Super Kings, who signed him for a record fee of £1.1m at the pre-season auction.
At the same time, it’s being said that following the surgery Flintoff’s career would see an end, though, the England and Wales Cricket Board expects Flintoff to be out of action for three to five weeks.
Andrew has been extremely unlucky with injuries and this time too he should be fit for the ICC World Twenty20 in June and the Ashes series against Australia which follows.
Having the surgery now means he should be available for both those events, although he is certain to miss the Test series against the West Indies.
