London Ashes hero Andrew Flintoff revealed on Thursday that he would accept an offer to captain England and brushed aside suggestions there was a rift after current skipper Michael Vaughan suggested he would not be suitable.
Flintoff was the star of England?s 2-1 Ashes series win over Australia in the summer and Vaughan believes the all-rounder's workload would be 'overwhelming' if he was also captain.
But Flintoff insisted he would be ready for the challenge if an opportunity to lead his country arose after Vaughan's reign.
"I think everyone in the side has got aspirations of captaining their country, if it ever came up I'd jump at the chance," Flintoff said.
"At the moment Vaughany is doing an unbelievable job, I'm enjoying playing under him and long may it continue but if, maybe a few years down the line, there is a chance then it's obviously something you'd have to be interested in," he added.
"He was only saying what he thinks, I've known Michael for a few years and he would have my best interests at heart so it's not something that's going to bother me or upset me," said Flintoff.
"I want to play in a Test side ranked number one in the world, which would mean retaining the Ashes next year," says Flintoff.
