Manchester: Andrew Flintofff wants to win more silverware with Lancashire after agreeing a new three-year contract with his native county.
England all-rounder Flintoff, who is recovering from knee surgery, retired from Test cricket after helping his country regain the Ashes from Australia in August, saying his body could no longer stand the strain.
But the 31-year-old is continuing as a limited overs cricketer and wants to represent England at the 2011 World Cup in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Flintoff, who made his Lancashire debut in 1995, is equally keen to add to the two trophies he has already won with the Old Trafford-based county.
"To sign a new deal is what I wanted to do," he said Friday. "I've played for the club since I was nine and I don't want to play anywhere else in county cricket.
"I've got personal ambitions but I've got team ambitions as well. I've won two trophies at Lancashire. I've been at this club a long time and I want to add to that.
"Personally, yes I do want to be the best one-day player in the world, it's something which I feel I can do. Just playing the two forms of the game I can focus all my attentions on trying to be that player."
The pace bowler and hard-hitting batsman hopes to be back in action early next year after undergoing surgery following the Ashes.
