Graham Onions has replaced the injured Andrew Flintoff in England’s Champions Trophy squad, the ECB have confirmed.
The Durham fast bowler takes Flintoff’s place in the 15-man party for the tournament in South Africa, and will also provide bowling cover for the remainder of the NatWest Series against Australia.
Onions joins up with the one-day squad in Southampton tomorrow ahead of the third match of seven.
Flintoff has incurred a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf following knee surgery. The 31-year-old underwent an operation upon the conclusion of the Ashes and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of six months.
