Flintoff is also the head coach of the England Lions development side and his results at the Superchargers alongside England white-ball captain Harry Brook – his first full-time first-team coaching position – have been impressive.<\/p>\n

The Headingley-based franchise finished bottom of the standings in the year before he took over and sixth and fifth in the two seasons prior.<\/p>\n

A coach of his stature – he played 79 Tests for England and was part of the 2005 Ashes win – has also been a boost to the tournament. <\/p>\n

Flintoff, who has also been tipped a future England head coach, was regularly the most popular request for fans hunting autographs and pictures after matches in Leeds.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seen the Hundred change now,” said Flintoff. “We’ve got new owners, and I spoke to them when they phoned up. They said they wanted us to do it, so I said: ‘Yeah, fine. Make us an offer.’<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to do it, which is sad. The past two years, I felt we were building somewhere really nice, and I’d have loved to have seen it through.”<\/p>\n

Yorkshire were the only county to sell their entire stake in their Hundred franchise<\/a> during the process earlier this year.<\/p>\n

India-based media company Sun Group, owners of Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad, have paid just over \u00a3100m. They also own Sunrisers Eastern Cape in South Africa’s SA20.<\/p>\n

With different IPL owners investing in four Hundred teams – the Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave and Manchester Originals – it is expected there will be some continuity of kits, team names, players and possibly coaches with owners’ other teams.<\/p>\n

Former New Zealand international Daniel Vettori is Sunrisers Hyderabad coach but is currently in charge of Birmingham Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Trent Rockets are currently without a head coach after Andy Flower moved to London Spirit<\/a> in a deal announced last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flintoff is also the head coach of the England Lions development side and his results at the Superchargers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-186267","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
