The ICC has warned of strict action, including bans, if players cross
the line during next month's ODI World Cup to be jointly hosted by
Australia and New Zealand from February 14. Most recently, David Warner was fined 50 percent of his match fee for a verbal spat with Indian batsman Rohit Sharma during a tri-series match although the Australian later claimed that he was merely asking his rival to speak in English.
Flintoff said the language used in the years gone by was much worse.
"Twenty years ago, sledging was 10 times worse. Now, with stump microphones and cameras all over, everything gets picked up," Flintoff told 'BBC Sport'.
