Former England captain Andrew Flintoff’s cricket documentary “Field of Dreams” has been commissioned into a new four-part series by the BBC after the success of the first release.
The 44-year-old Ashes winner, who played in Lancashire and participated in 79 Tests, 141 internationals for one day and seven T20 matches for his country, has been tasked with revealing the talent of local cricketing in his hometown of Preston.
The series has proven to be a huge success as, in addition to building a cricket team from scratch, it has also helped transform the lives of some of its players and the region.
The footage captured the flight of local boys Sean, Ben and Adnan, and the latter a teenager from Afghanistan who was granted asylum in the UK after the documentary finished and trained with the Lancashire youth team.
Flintoff told the BBC: “Working with the boys was one of the most amazing experiences of my life, but the work isn’t over yet!
“I am pleased that we are continuing the hard work we have all done, but on a much larger scale.”
