Fred fit for First Test
England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has been passed fit to play in the first Test against the West Indies at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Wednesday.
Flintoff, 31, hurt his left side on Day One of the tour match with the St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI last week.
But the Lancashire star came through a fitness test on Monday before England drew against West Indies A.
"All things are pointing to being all right, so barring a mishap tomorrow I should be fine," Flintoff told 5 Live.
"It's all right when you're fresh. Having bowled today I'll see how I cope tomorrow, send a couple more overs down and hopefully take it from there."
Flintoff bowled the six overs at Warner Park, building up momentum as he went along, and came through without any adverse reaction.
