Injured Flintoff may miss rest of tour
By Geoffrey Dean in Moratuwa
12 February 1998
ANDREW FLINTOFF has been ruled out of the final Test of England
A's tour of Sri Lanka, which starts tomorrow.
The Lancashire batsman has been suffering from a bad back for
the past week and, although X-rays showed that he has a curved
spine, no injury has been diagnosed.
The Management have decided not to risk him, although they hope
he will be fit for the three-match one-day series starting next
Wednesday. Jonathan Powell came through practice yesterday to
report that his septic spinning finger has now healed. He will
definitely play tomorrow.
