Speaking about his father Andrew Flintoff, he is currently part of England’s coaching staff at the T20 World Cup 2024 and will be head coach of Northern Superchargers men in The Hundred later this season.
Rocky debuted for Lancashire’s second XI earlier this year, right after turning 16 and has shared the batting lineup with his older brother, Corey.
Luc Benkenstein, the son of Lancashire head coach Dale Benkenstein will captain the England U19 team for the series against the Islanders. Having previously led the team in last summer’s youth ODI series against Australia, Benkenstein will guide them into their first match at Chelmsford on June 28.

England Men U19s coach Mike Yardy said: “We have selected an exciting squad for the series, with a blend of some players who are currently playing in the Vitality Blast and some younger players for whom it will be their first time in an U19 squad.”
“As always, it’s a great opportunity for the players to perform in an England U19 shirt and to experience international cricket.”
