Overview

• Flintoff disclosed his exit on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, saying he was offered just over a quarter of what other Hundred head coaches earn.
• The Sun Group said it proposed an increased salary compared with his current deal but confirmed Flintoff declined the offer.
• Sun Group, owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Sunrisers Eastern Cape, acquired 100% of the Superchargers for just over £100m as part of The Hundred’s equity sale.
• During two seasons in charge, Flintoff led the Headingley-based side to fourth place in 2024 and this year’s Eliminator, and he remains England Lions head coach.
• Coaching reshuffles are gathering pace across The Hundred, with Andy Flower moving to London Spirit and reports indicating the Superchargers could adopt Sunrisers-aligned branding.
