Andrew Flintoff is being considered as a potential caretaker coach for England's senior white-ball teams due to Brendon McCullum's busy schedule. McCullum, who manages both the Test and limited-overs sides, might need time off, especially with his family in New Zealand. With 21 white-ball games and multiple Tests before the Ashes, the England and Wales Cricket Board recognizes the need to manage McCullum's workload. Flintoff's role as the coach of England Lions demonstrates the ECB's commitment to grooming him for a prominent coaching position in the future.
Flintoff's return to cricket after several years focusing on his successful TV career came as an unpaid consultant during England's 50-over series against New Zealand and Ireland.
Brendon McCullum may be given the option to miss some series, particularly as his family remain based in New Zealand.
The former England captain has been given a one-year contract as coach of England Lions, who are in Abu Dhabi on a training camp.
