Andrew Flintoff Resigns as Northern Superchargers Coach After Pay Talks Collapse

He says a below‑market offer from new owner Sun Group left him feeling undervalued.

Overview

  • He revealed his decision on the Beard Before Wicket podcast, with Superchargers spinner Adil Rashid saying Flintoff would be missed.
  • Sun Group said it offered an increase on his existing deal and stated it respected his decision not to continue.
  • Across two seasons in charge, he lifted the Superchargers to fourth in 2024 and to the Eliminator in 2025 after earlier struggles.
  • Sun Group, which paid just over £100m for full control this year, is expected to align the franchise with its Sunrisers branding, according to reports.
  • Flintoff remains England Lions head coach and will lead their tour in Australia, and he has said he has received offers from other Hundred teams.
