For Flintoff, it is an early return to the job he had during the Ashes series, when England lost 5-0 and coach Duncan Fletcher said the burden of leadership had affected his game. "It's a great boost for me to be in with a chance," said 34-year-old Loye, who has been playing provincial cricket in New Zealand for Auckland.
"I got a few runs against Otago the other day and if I do play on Friday I'll feel pretty confident."
