Early and personal life[edit]
The son of Andrew Flintoff and Rachael Wools Flintoff, he has three siblings, Holly, Corey and Preston.[1][2] He attended Manchester Grammar School and joined Lancashire County Cricket Club at a young age. His brother Corey also plays for the Lancashire academy.[3]

He started playing cricket at a local club in Alderley Edge, Cheshire and played for St Annes CC in 2020.[4] He played for North at the Bunbury Festival in 2023 and made his debut in the August of that summer for Southport and Birkdale in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition, scoring 76 from 98 balls on debut.[5] He made his debut for Lancashire second-XI in April 2024, two days after his sixteenth birthday.[6]
