“Stuart and I have had a few conversations and I’m clear on what we’re looking to achieve in the competition. The Heat squad has some exciting talent and I’m looking forward to catching up with Dan Vettori again,” he added. “I’ve seen from afar how the BBL has evolved so quickly to become a world-class competition and it’s a challenge that I am certainly up for,” Flintoff said. The all-rounder  had retired in 2009 recently made a comeback with his county Lancashire in England’s domestic T20 competition.

“I’ve told Fred we signed him to win games of cricket, so that means we want him bowling 140kph, hitting sixes and using his experience around the group to get the job done,” Stuart Law, Brisbane Heat coach said.
