The England cricket team needs a new coach right now as the previous coach Chris Silverwood has left. It is a big decision to be made, and there are many candidates for the role. A new candidate has emerged in the race, and he is none other than former England cricket team all-rounder Andrew Flintoff.
Andrew Flintoff played 79 Test matches, 141 ODIs and seven T20 international matches for the England cricket team. His all-round brilliance made many members of the cricket universe believe that he is the most complete all-rounder. Flintoff bowled right-arm pace and generally batted in the middle-order of the team.
Speaking of his numbers in international cricket, Flintoff batted in 259 innings, where he aggregated 7,315 runs. His batting average was 31.39, while his highest score was 167. He recorded 44 half-centuries and eight centuries for the England cricket team.
In the bowling department, Flintoff picked up exact 400 wickets in all formats of international cricket. He took eight four-wicket hauls and five five-wicket hauls, with his best bowling figures being 5/19.

It will be interesting to see if Flintoff indeed gets the role of the head coach because he shifted his focus to boxing after leaving cricket. Many fans would remember that he even played for the Chennai Super Kings once upon a time. Looking at his numbers in international cricket, it goes without saying that he was a great player and could be a great coach.
