T20 Blast: Andrew Flintoff return on hold after Edgbaston wash-out

Flintoff has been training with Lancashire and played in a second XI game against Leicestershire earlier this month

Andrew Flintoff's potential return to Twenty20 cricket was cancelled by the weather as rain completely washed out Lancashire's trip to Edgbaston.

The 36-year-old former England star, who quit the sport in 2010, was named in Lancashire's 13-man squad for the match against Birmingham Bears.

He is expected to remain in the squad for Sunday's T20 Blast North Group game with Worcestershire (15:30 BST).

Lancashire's trip to New Road will be a meeting of the top two in the group.

Flintoff, who made seven appearances for England in T20 internationals, last made a domestic Twenty20 appearance five years ago - hitting six sixes and nine fours in an innings of 93 off 41 balls at Derbyshire.
