Andrew Flintoff has been included in the Lancashire Lightning starting lineup for this afternoon's T20 Blast encounter against Worcestershire.

The all-rounder retired in 2009, but he announced his return to action with his home county back in May of this year.

However, concerns over the 36-year-old's fitness meant that he was limited to turning out for the second XI until today.

Flintoff has previously played 16 T20 matches for Lancashire.
