Former England Test all-rounder Andrew Flintoff remains on course to return from a long injury lay-off in Lancashire's second XI fixtures against Yorkshire next week.
The 32-year-old is set to feature at Crosby, near Liverpool, where the Roses rivals play a one-day match on Monday.
"Hopefully next week possibly there's a chance of playing in the second team, just as a batter initially and then start picking up the ball from there," Flintoff said on Sky News.
