County age group

County Age Group: Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff's son Rocky Flintoff has signed his first professional contract with Lancashire on Thursday.

The 16-year-old is a product of Lancashire’s County Age Group system and joined the Academy in 2023, having first represented the Club at Under-10 level. He has featured for Lancashire’s Second XI four times this summer, hitting a half-century against Durham at Emirates Old Trafford before scoring a century against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, a week later.

"I'm very happy and excited to have signed my first professional contract with Lancashire. It's something that I've been working towards since I started playing cricket, so to sign for my home county is a dream come true," Rocky said in a statement.
