Cricket: Flintoff seeks warmth

England cricketer Andrew Flintoff plans to move to Dubai for the next few months as part of the rehabilitation process on his right knee after surgery.

The 31-year-old Lancashire allrounder, who retired from test cricket after last month's Ashes victory with England, said the warmer climate would benefit the rehab process, which is overseen by former England physiotherapist Dave Roberts.

Flintoff plans to begin training within a week in an attempt to return in time for one-day matches in Bangladesh next year.
