England allrounder Andrew Flintoff says he is retiring from test cricket after the Ashes series against Australia.
The 31-year-old Flintoff made the announcement Wednesday, a day before the second test.
Flintoff, who aggravated a knee injury during the drawn first test against Australia which ended on Sunday, has struggled with injuries since being at the heart of the 2005 Ashes triumph.
He is sacrificing five-day cricket to try to ensure his fitness for 50-over and Twenty20 international matches.
Flintoff said: ``It's been something I've been thinking about for a while and I think this last problem I've had with my knee has confirmed to me that the time is now right.''
