To everyone’s surprise, Andrew Flintoff had announced his comeback to play Twenty20s for his county team Lancashire last month.

He has already played a match for his club team St. Anne’s in an attempt to earn his place in the side with his performances and not make a direct comeback without much match practice. The all-rounder turned back the clock as he ended up with figures of 3 for 26 in 12 overs. He even hung on to a quick return catch off his own bowling that highlighted his athleticism which is still in good shape to Mike Watkinson, the director of cricket for Lancashire.

Watkinson previously told BBC Sport: "He needs to get his name on the sheet first. Is he going to be the same? Probably not. But he is still going to be decent competitor and a good influence."

The 36-year-old played international circuit for more than 10 years before calling it a day after the Ashes series in 2009.

However, Flintoff was dismissed for 2 runs off 3 deliveries which made former England captain Michael Vaughan to comment whether we still have to wait before drawing a conclusion about his comeback.

Speaking on BBC 5 live's Tuffers and Vaughan Show, Flintoff's former captain said: "Delivering the ball out of the hand, he will be absolutely fine. But we'll wait and see if he'll be able to whack the ball out the ground.

"He is a hero for all of us for what he did in the Ashes. As for how well he'll do, I just think the game has moved on.”

Flintoff also commented on his comeback, saying: "I still have some unfinished business. Cricket is the one thing I know I'm comfortable around. I never fell out with cricket. It really hurt when I watched it and was not able to play.”

"When I went to sign for the second time I was more excited than I was when I signed my first contract when I was 16. I couldn't get my name on paper quick enough," revealed a excited Flintoff.
