Rocky Flintoff's Historic County Championship Debut

Sixteen-year-old Rocky Flintoff, son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, made history as the youngest-ever County Championship debutant for Lancashire, scoring 32 runs against Surrey at The Oval. Despite facing seasoned bowlers like Sam Curran, Rocky showcased his potential by hitting three boundaries and building a solid start before being dismissed by Jordan Clark. Lancashire struggled overall, being bowled out for 204, with Surrey responding strongly at 83-0 before bad light halted play. Rocky's debut follows a promising summer where he scored a century for England U19s and made notable contributions in the One-Day Cup. His performance reflects a strong cricketing foundation and hints at a promising future in the sport.
