Flintoff, 37, revealed to JOE.co.uk why he’ll try everything and anything after temporarily leaving cricket behind. “I know people wonder ‘what the hell is doing that for?’ But while the opportunities are here I’m going to take them,” he said. “I don’t want to get to a place when I’m older and look back and wonder why I didn’t try this and that.
“I’d sooner try something and it go wrong and fail, I’ve no problem with that. I have a problem with not trying it in the first place. That’s what I’ve tried to instil in my kids.”
While Flintoff is enjoying his adventures at the moment, he expects that cricket will come calling again in the future. “Someone else will come along soon and I’ll be forgotten about, I’m busy up until next February and after that I’ll take stock,” he said.
“I think I’m going to take some proper time off to be with the family and then I’ll prioritise what I really want to do and where I want to go after that - maybe coaching cricket.”
