Rocky Flintoff's brother Corey is also part of Lancashire's academy
Rocky Flintoff, the teenage son of former England all-rounder Andrew, hit a century for England Under-19s on the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka.
Resuming on 82 overnight, the 16-year-old reached the landmark in the first hour of the morning session, making three figures from 176 balls with eight fours and two sixes.
The teenager was dismissed five balls later, departing for 106 to leave his side 454-7 and holding a first-innings lead of 301.
He is the youngest player to hit a century for England Under-19s.
Flintoff is enjoying a prolific rise over the course of the summer, signing his first professional contract for Lancashire off the back of scoring a century for the club's second XI.
He made his debut for England Under-19s in the ongoing Sri Lanka tour, in a side that also features Archie Vaughan, son of former England captain Michael, plus Farhan Ahmed and Jaydn Denly, respectively brother and nephew of internationals Rehan and Joe.
Flintoff's father Andrew played 79 Tests, 141 one-day internationals and seven T20s for England between 1999 and 2009 and famously played a key role in England's historic Ashes victory in 2005.
He was captain between 2006 and 2007 and moved into television presenting after his cricket career, joining Top Gear in 2019 alongside Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris. Flintoff suffered injuries sustained in an accident while filming the BBC show in December 2022.
He was involved in the England men's limited-overs coaching set-up last summer and was named head coach of the Northern Superchargers men's team in The Hundred in November 2023.
