London: Andrew Flintoff believes that his impending retirement from Test cricket will enable him to focus on becoming the best one-day cricketer in the world, and he still harbours ambitions of playing for England in not only the 2011 World Cup in the subcontinent, but the 2015 tournament in Australia and New Zealand as well.
"I've missed two out of the last four years, so I've not got that rhythm of playing cricket day-in day-out," said Flintoff. "But as a bowler, apart from the body, I'm actually getting better, and I can nearly bat again. My best years might be in front of me, but not in this form of the game."
In order to maximise both the cricket he plays and the earnings he can make from the game, however, Flintoff is expected to secure a raft of short-term contracts which could lead to him playing in a variety of leagues all around the world.
He recently held talks with Queensland, over the possibility of signing a short-term contract for Australia's annual Big Bash competition, while he currently has one year to run on both his lucrative IPL $1.55million contract with Chennai, which made him, pro-rata, the most expensive overseas signing in the competition, and his English domestic deal with Lancashire, with whom he has yet to discuss his life after Tests.
