Speaking at the annual photo shoot, Andrew Flintoff said that although he is still unsure about the date, but he is hoping to return to the first-class cricket by the end of July this year.

The 32-year old all-rounder underwent a knee surgery the day after the Oval test against Australia.

It has been reported that the all-rounder who was recovering in UAE has now returned back to his gym.

He has admitted that he is still unsure about any cricketing activity. However, he hopes to return to both first-class as well as international game by the July-end.

He explained that he managed to work hard for past three to four weeks. He also said, "I've taken up a lot of swimming and kayaking at the minute which is good fun".

Andrew did not forget to mention that he does not have any plan to return to the five day game.
