Andrew Flintoff has revealed his pride at seeing 'Field of Dreams' protege Adnan Miakhel, a refugee from Afghanistan, make his first appearance for Lancashire's second team.

The former England cricket captain, who made his name in cricket as a hugely talented all-rounder while playing for Lancashire, his native county, has been back in the public eye lately following the release of a new documentary detailing the painful recovery from his life-changing car crash.

The programme sees Flintoff speaking about how returning from show business to cricket has helped him gain fresh meaning in life, with Miakhel's appearance in a three-day friendly against Yorkshire -- the traditional arch-rivals of northwest county Lancashire -- uniting the worlds of entertainment and sport.
