“I’m delighted my Academy is in Hereford this year.  Although it is sad that my playing career has come to an end it means that I am able to devote more time to my Academy.  I’ve been working on the curriculum and we’ve got some fantastic coaches on board,” commended Andrew Flintoff.

‘I plan to visit more Academies in 2011 and see lots of youngsters enjoying playing cricket. The West of England has always been a great area for developing cricketers and my Academy aims to continue this in the future.’

“The game has given me so much and my academy is the perfect way for me to pass on the passion and love I have for the game.”
