Flintoff has a big money deal to appear in an ITV adventure series, where he will be competing with sport stars like Mike Tyson and Joe Calzaghe.
"Freddie is keen to move into TV, but without feeling like he has retired," The Sun quoted a source, as saying.
"He will learn to box, be sent into extreme climates and learn snow survival. His most dangerous challenge will be walking on the wings of an aircraft," he added.
From his debut in 1998, Flintoff became an integral player for England, and has both captained and vice-captained the team.
However, he suffered regular injuries throughout his international career, often due to his heavy frame and bowling action.
During the period 2007-09, he played in only 13 of England's 36 Test matches, but nevertheless remained a core member of the England squad, being selected whenever available.
The 32-year-old had announced his retirement from Test cricket at the conclusion of the 2009 Ashes series in August, but had kept himself available in ODI and Twenty20 matches.
