Rocky Flintoff, at just 16 years and 113 days old, has made history as Lancashire's youngest first-team cricketer. Flintoff, son of former England captain Andrew Flintoff, is set to play in Sunday’s One-Day Cup match against Kent at Blackpool.
The prodigious talent has been in the spotlight recently, scoring 106 in the second Test against Sri Lanka at Cheltenham, making him England Under-19s' youngest-ever centurion. Flintoff's stellar performances for Lancashire's second XI this season, including a century against Warwickshire in April, earned him a professional contract with the club.
Lancashire's selection of Flintoff underscores their dedication to nurturing young talent and investing in the future of the sport. The cricketing world will be watching with keen interest as Flintoff steps onto the field for his debut, marking a significant milestone in his promising career and the club's rich history.
Congratulations to Rocky and Ollie, while Greeny also makes his List A debut for the Club today! 🧢🤝
