Andrew Flintoff said his decision to tour India for the Test series has nothing to do with his Indian Premier League ambitions. “There was safety to consider and also whether it was right to be playing in India so soon after Mumbai. I can’t vouch for other players but for me the Indian Premier League didn’t come into it at all. Safety is far bigger than the IPL,” Flintoff told The Daily Telegraph. Flintoff’s comments came amid reports that the English cricketers shrugged off their reluctance to tour to endear themselves to the IPL authorities.
