Read our privacy policy England's ambitions of getting their Ashes campaign off to a winning start were dealt a serious blow yesterday evening when Andrew Flintoff failed to prove to the selectors that he was fit enough to play in the first Test against Australia, which started today. Explaining the selectors' decision, the England coach, Duncan Fletcher, said: "We had a tough choice to make in the all-rounder position between Andrew Flintoff and Craig White, but we just felt the first Test came around a couple of days too early for Andrew following his comeback from a hernia operation. However, one man's loss is another's gain and Craig White was given the opportunity to play his first Test match in the country where he was raised. Even though the Yorkshire all-rounder is included in England's one-day squad for later this year, he must have been short of match practice having played only a three-day game and a couple of club games since the end of the season.
