Teenage Afghan refugee Adnan Miakhel, who starred in BBC TV Series Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams, has made his debut for Lancashire’s Second XI.

Adnan arrived in the UK on the back of a lorry in 2021 and, with limited formal cricket training, became the star bowler when former England captain Andrew Flintoff cobbled together a team of disadvantaged boys in Preston.

He spoke then about the dream of playing cricket professionally in England.

That dream moved a small step closer this week after he made his debut for Lancashire’s Second XI.

Adnan’s foster parents spoke to BBC Breakfast about his achievement.
