LONDON,  (Reuters) – England all-rounder Andrew  Flintoff has signed a new three-year deal to play one-day  cricket for Lancashire, the county club said.

“I am delighted at being able to agree a new contract which  enables me to remain at Old Trafford for the next three years,”  the 31-year-old player said on the Lancashire website  (www.lccc.co.uk).

“I have enjoyed many highs with England over the years but I  have not had the same success with Lancashire and that is  something I want to address.”

Flintoff, who retired from test cricket after the fifth  Ashes test in August and is recovering from an operation on his  right knee, also has a lucrative contract with Indian Premier  League (IPL) side Chennai.

“I am looking forward to being around the Lancashire  dressing room more now I have retired from Test cricket and this  contract will also give me the flexibility to play other forms  of one-day cricket around the world,” he said.
