England's stand-in captain Andrew Flintoff on Saturday expressed confidence that he would be able to handle the responsibility as a full-time skipper with ease.
The 28-year-old all-rounder, who led England during their tour of India in the absence of Michael Vaughan and senior batsman Marcus Trescothick, said that after his six-week stint as captain he would not mind getting the job on a permanent basis one day.
"Being captain has not put me off in any way, shape or form or made me think it's too much. Has it heck, no," he was quoted as saying by 'The Sun' today.
"It has been good fun. When I got the job, I said it would be nice under different circumstances. But it came around and I've done it for the Test series and most of the one-dayers," he added.
Claiming that he enjoyed the added responsibility, Flintoff said he would be willing to do it in future also.

However, he underscored that right now he was not considering that option and waiting for Vaughan's return to the side.
"It's not an option at the moment because we're all waiting for Vaughany to come back and take over.
"I must stress that - this is Vaughany's team as soon as he returns. I've done it for a short period and, although people are saying various things, I'm not the long-term captain," he said.
