T20 World Cup 2024: Flintoff part of England’s backroom staff; gets projected as next head coach

Andrew Flintoff has been added to England’s backroom staff for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and ECB managing director Rob Key viewed it as a portend to the former all-rounder’s potential candidacy for the team’s head coach role. Flintoff will coach Northern Superchargers in The Hundred this season and will also be involved with the England team during its four-match T20I series against Pakistan ahead of the ICC showpiece. The 46-year-old Flintoff had suffered serious facial injuries while shooting for ‘Top Gear’ in 2022 and Key was instrumental in bringing his former teammate back to mainstream cricket. Key also said former England players like all-rounder Moeen Ali should be fast-tracked into coaching roles in future.
