Antigua (West Indies), Feb. 12 : While there has been a hue and cry over England cricket all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and fast bowler Steve Harmison going on a free booze cruise shortly after the team's humiliating defeat in the Jamaica Test, it turns out that both were given permission to go by none other than skipper Andrew Strauss.
According to The Sun, England managing director Hugh Morris has cleared both Flintoff and Harmison of any wrongdoing following a probe.
It emerged that Strauss allowed the trip and operations manager Phil Neale handed the two players their passports before they departed.
