Ex-England Stars Son Set To Face Ayush Mhatre, Vaibhav Suryavanshi In THIS Series
The England and Wales Cricket board announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming U19 One-Day tour scheduled against India later this month. The team will face the likes of Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Suryavanshi who announced their arrival to World Cricket with fabulous IPL 2025 performances. Interestingly the English squad included Rocky Flintoff, son of one of the finest all-rounders Andrew Flintoff. Rocky has played 12 first-class matches and has one fifty-plus score to his name. The youngster caught everyone's attention with a century in Youth Tests. Flintoff had an alpha personality both on and off the field and once was caught in a heated verbal fight with India's World Cup Star Yuvraj Singh during T20 World Cup 2007.
Yuvraj while recalling the brawl in an Instagram live with Kevin Pietersen revealed - "I think Freddie bowled two good balls and he bowled a yorker which I managed to hit for a boundary. Then he told me that this was a dash shot, he got pretty elaborative. He said I am gonna cut your throat off and then I replied saying you see this bat in my hand? You know where I am gonna hit you with this bat. I remember I was so angry when I hit Broadie for six sixes, I looked at Dimitri Mascarenas and then I looked at Freddie.
