On August 11, 2026, Rocky Flintoff, the 18-year-old son of renowned English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, scored 123 off 76 balls for Lancashire against Somerset in the One-Day Cup at Taunton, marking his first century in senior cricket.
Freddie Flintoff’s son bludgeoned a savage first career century, proving he was a chip off the old block. He added a noteworthy accomplishment of his own on Tuesday when he scored his first senior century for Lancashire against Somerset at Taunton in their One-Day Cup match.
When Flintoff entered the game in the 23rd over, Lancashire, who were batting first against Somerset, had fallen to 138-3. Keaton Jennings, who concluded with 156 off 127 balls, and he shared a stand of 214. After scoring hundreds for the England Lions, England Under-19s, and Lancashire’s Second XI, he hit three figures in 65 balls to complete his first century in official senior cricket.
He scored 82 of his 123 runs in boundaries, including 10 fours and 7 sixes. Flintoff was instrumental in helping Lancashire reach the greatest List A total in the county’s history—443 for 6 in their 50 overs. The innings was eventually ended by Archie Vaughan holding a catch off Migael Pretorius at long-off.
Prior to this game, Flintoff’s greatest senior cricket score was 88, which he had achieved against Middlesex in the 2024 One-Day Cup. When he played for Lancashire against Kent in July 2024, he became the youngest player in the county’s history aged 16 years and 113 days. This marked the start of his List A career.
Having been a member of Lancashire’s system since he was eight years old, he signed his first professional contract with the county in June 2024. Only three days have passed since Freddie announced his resignation as the England Lions’ head coach. This winter, he will be the coach of Sydney Thunder in Australia’s Big Bash League.
