IPL chance excites Flintoff
Andrew Flintoff believes he will be at the peak of his powers when the Ashes series starts in July.
The Lancastrian all-rounder is looking forward to starring for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and believes the experience will help him to return to his best form.
He said: "It's been frustrating with the hip injury, thigh injury and getting hit on the thumb just before the end of the tour of the West Indies and I think the IPL will be good for me.
"There are a few people putting the IPL down but keeping playing should help me out a lot. When I stop and start is when my body is at its most vulnerable.
"I know I'm only bowling four overs a game, but it will give me a chance to work on my game in between games going into a Test series and I'll be working with top facilities out in South Africa.
"It's a long schedule and everyone is looking forward to the Ashes and making sure everyone is fit for that but I've stressed all along that we have to perform in all the games we're playing.
"From my point of view, although it's been frustrating, I've had four or five weeks when I've not played because I've been injured so I'm probably fresher than a lot of the lads.
"If I'm asked whether I'm jaded in September I'll probably be on my knees, but at this moment in time I'm looking forward to getting on with it."
