Foster family says refugee ‘owes everything to Freddie’

Adnan Miakhel, a teenage Afghan refugee who made his television debut with Lancashire’s Second XI, made his debut in Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams.

When former England captain Andrew Flintoff cobbled together a group of underprivileged boys in Preston, Adnan became the star bowler in the 2021 season on the back of a lorry.

He then described his desire to play cricket professionally in England.

After making his Lancashire Second XI debut this week, that dream came a little closer.

Adnan’s adoptive parents spoke to BBC Breakfast about his success.
