Andrew Flintoff has admitted to being curious about how the Indian Premier League and says it could be an option for him in the future.
For the moment, however, the 30-year-old has only two main targets - returning to action for Lancashire and then England following a fourth operation on his troublesome left ankle.
"I have got no definite thoughts either way about it because I just want to get my game in order and my cricket in order," England all-rounder said.
"At this moment in time it is not really an option but further down the line, who knows.
"Everybody is asking me how I see the IPL going, where it is standing in world cricket, but I don't know.
"We will have to see what happens and how the competition pans out but my sights are firmly set on Lancashire."
Flintoff's county colleague Dominic Cork, meanwhile, has acknowledged that the IPL and the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League [ICL] will give other options to players currently based in Britain.
"Players will have difficult decisions to make, whether they be England players or just ageing players," Cork said
"I am sure that a lot more is going to come out about both leagues and a lot more difficult decisions will have to be made.
"Obviously ICL and IPL is a topic that it is all around county cricket. It is a competition that you can't hide away from - it is happening and it is now."
