It seems that a new Flintoff family member is all set to impress everyone with his batting and bowling skills. The former ‘busy’ England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, known for his stylish batting and aggressive bowling. His son, Rocky Flintoff, following in his footsteps. Junior Flintoff has been called up to the England men’s Under-19 squad. England’s Under-19 team will play three-match youth ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting on June 28th.
At the tender age of 16, Flintoff has already impressed with his all-around abilities, particularly with his batting. Playing for Lancashire 2nd XI. He made an impact by scoring a maiden century on his debut against Warwickshire 2nd XI at Edgbaston this April. Andrew Flintoff, who played 141 ODIs and 71 Tests for the England side, who was a wonderful asset to the team with his skills. And now it seems his son is slowly and steadily following his footsteps.
