Flintoff to return home

Andrew Flintoff will return home later today from England’s tour of the Caribbean.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) says the all-rounder will continue the rehabilitation on his injured hip at home.
The injury has sidelined Flintoff for the fourth Test against West Indies at Kensington Oval in Barbados, and his return means he will take no part in the fifth and final Test, starting next Friday at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad.
The ECB hopes he will be fit enough to return to the Caribbean on March 10 for the limited-overs leg of the tour which includes a Twenty/Twenty International and five One-day Internationals.
