KhufiaBaaz: IPL responsible for Andrew Flintoff’s test retirement.

Not the BBC or the Times will tell you the real reason why Freddie Flintoff retired – it was to concentrate on his IPL career with the Chennai Super Kings. After a ‘rubbish’ performance with CSK this season, where Freddie bowled the most expensive spell, he was rightly devastated – it was either tests or IPL. Finally, IPL won! A huge relief for his millions of fans in the subcontinent. A small group of cricket fans in the UK mourned test cricket’s loss, but in the long run, Freddie knows, the IPL will take care of him, much better than anyone else.
