Flintoff, who had turned 45 earlier this month, has transformed into a popular television personality since last playing representative cricket in the Big Bash League almost eight years ago. Seen less as a cricket expert since his retirement as a player unlike other former teammates, there has been no dearth to Flintoff’s appearances on other television shows since then.
